Talk:Song of India

Rimsky aria
I've replaced (with extreme prejudice) the entry
 * * "Song of India", the name by which "The Song of the Indian Guest" from the opera Sadko by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is popularly known, especially in jazz, as a result of an arrangement by Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra.

Not only is it not a Dab entry, but its insinuation -- that "Song of India" would, but for Dorsey, find insignificant use as the title for the Rimsky aria -- turns out to be absurd: Rosa Ponselle made a recording of it under the title "Song of India" in 1920 (per entry 39), when Tommy Dorsey was 14 or 15. (And retrospective use of the shorter title is ruled out by reference to the recording in a 1922 work.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerzy (talk • contribs) 21:14, 12 July 2010
