Talk:Oberon (Weber)

"However, the opera is best performed as Weber left it, and the great melodic beauty and superb orchestration of several of the opera's numbers have ensured recordings and performances in the concert hall, if not the opera house."

Removed the above for more than a little POV violation. Telos (talk) 02:41, 1 June 2008 (UTC)== Another POV violation. ==

"and Sir John Eliot Gardiner (who records the original English version on period instruments in a thrilling account of the score) for Philips."

Describing this recording as "thrilling" may or may not be true according to one's taste but that's a Wikipedia no-no as far as I know so I am changing it.Ed (talk) 22:34, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

overture sound file
Can anyone get this arrangement of the overture to play for more than 30 seconds? Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 08:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it plays fine for me. Also it is a fairly modern recording, and the band is top notch (of course!). You might try checking whether you have the latest version of the plugin. Click on the "Help" link in the sound file template. (I use the Apple Mac Safari browser and the Xiph QuickTime plugin. I can't say whether the Windows version works or not.) --Robert.Allen (talk) 06:13, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I will need to get help to check plug-ins. At least it works OK. Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 22:53, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Presumably the bot which demanded a citation for Liszt's arrangement of the overture didn't bother to interpret the citation from Searle's catalogue of Liszt's works given with the mention. Perhaps some Wikipedian who knows botspeak could point this out to it?Delahays (talk) 18:24, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
