Talk:Salammbô (Mussorgsky)

Fair use rationale for Image:Salammbo opera.jpg
Image:Salammbo opera.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Further information needed
There are important details missing here. For example: The tunes which this work share with previous and later works (Oedipus in Athens, Night on bald mountain, Boris Godunov and Joshua); The state of score at the composer's death (scenes 2 and 5 were fully orchestrated); The fact that the complete orchestration of the work was made by Zoltan Pesko; The history of publication, etc. AdamChapman (talk) 19:52, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Recordings table per WikiProject Opera guidelines. Types of recordings noted (LP, CD, etc)
The format was changed to reflect these guidelines found in all other opera articles. The arbitrary revert has been re-reverted. Do not make any further changes without discussing your reasons here.Viva-Verdi (talk) 00:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Editor User talk:50.39.178.94 objects to the reverting of his preferred format. The section has been returned to its original form.  This is the place (not my "talk" page) where he/she needs to justify his/her opinion of how a "recordings" table should be set up.  Then discussion can follow.


 * Meanwhile, he/she should be aware of the fact that a group of editors involved with the WikiProject Opera have agreed on guidelines for what a recordings table should look like:
 * WikiProject_Opera/Article_styles_and_formats


 * Every other opera article uses this format.


 * Any further reverting on his/her part without further discussion and consensus may be regarded as vandalism. Viva-Verdi (talk) 03:32, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Mussorgsky meets Orson Welles
Salammbo was the title Welles and Herman Mankiewicz gave to the faux opera in "Citizen Kane." Bernard Herrmann wrote the short aria so badly warbled by the unfortunate Susan Kane. Kiri Te Kanawa's first major recording was of that piece, on a Hermann soundtrack compilation conducted by Charles Gerhardt for RCA. Needless to say, she sang it better than Mrs. Kane.
