Talk:Il re pastore

Media
his own recording of Aminta's aria "L'amerò, sarò costante". I because it is in my opinion a sub-standard rendition of this aria; for a more professional rendition see this version. The recording by Mr Senseless is in the wrong fach, accompanied by piano instead of an orchestra, his singing in general sounds strained and the ornaments lack any clarity; it is also two minutes shorter than it should be. While this may be appreciated at a Hauskonzert with friends, it falls way below the standard required for inclusion in an encyclopedia. I'm sorry if this come across as rather harsh criticism of this recording, but Wikipedia should strive for higher standards. I would like to hear other editors' opinion on whether this piece should stay in the article or not. Also posted at WikiProject Opera. Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:06, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * IMO this should be deleted as inappropriate. (BTW www.mozart-weltweit.eu doesn't open.) -- Klein zach  13:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I fully agree with you, my performance of L'amero was very sub-par and a poor reflection on me as a singer, I have no objections to replacing this with a free-content alternative. I uploaded it originally because it was my own work (making it free-content) and I saw a need for a musical example in Re Pastore similar to the ones that Le Nozze di Figaro has, but this was obviously not an recording to fill that void.

 * Sorry about that. If it's any consolation, we have also been removing recordings made by the Fulda Symphony Orchestra. Good luck with your career. Best. -- Klein zach  10:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
