Ilona Durigo

 * ... that Ilona Durigo, one of the leading concert contraltos of her time, performed in the first recording of Bach's St Matthew Passion, conducted by Willem Mengelberg? Source:
 * Reviewed: Regina Barzilay
 * Comment: I filled a red link, and then found the one thing to say about her is this legendary recording. Please hold until after 6 January, if not for Good Friday ;)

 * Symbol question.svg New, in time, long enough, German inline hook citation accepted AGF, no copyvios, QPQ done. Image checks out., there's a big block of German in the penultimate paragraph that hasn't been translated. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:35, 16 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, I know, the very end. It would be hard to translate (excited poetic language), but is a nice extra for those who know German to give a feeling for the taste of the period. It is summarized before. I can ask Moonraker if a translation is possible? I gave up just on "wunderzart, poesieverklärte", which is literally "wondertender, poetrytransfigured". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:42, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, Gerda, I agree with Usernameunique, this would really be better in English. As you know, German has a lot of compound words that we need two or three of ours to translate, or else hyphens, so for wunderzart, poesieverklärte Töne we could say "wonderfully tender tones, transfigured by poetry", or perhaps "poetry-transfigured". I'm busy today, but I could have a go at it tomorrow or the next day if needed. Moonraker (talk) 03:21, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, please, if desired. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:15, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Moonraker, do you plan to return to this? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:36, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I'll second that the present format isn't acceptable; it's just a quote validating a point that has already been made and really belongs in the footnotes. If it's really needed, it should go into a blockquote [done] or table with parallel translation. Ms Arendt, how about just nixing it altogether, if the nomination's being held up over a difficult and needless translation? — Llywelyn II   08:56, 31 December 2017 (UTC)  It's not really part of the DYK but it would also be good to have cites for the DOB and date of death. —  Llywelyn II   09:11, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * There's no rush. If Moonraker translates, it will be formatted like in Der 100. Psalm. Green pumping hearts.jpg Happy 2018 to you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:36, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * LlywelynII, it's translated now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:38, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Nifty, but I think it's User:Usernameunique that you need to ping to wrap this up. If he hasn't in a day or two, I can finish the review, sure. — Llywelyn II   01:41, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg All set now. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:01, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
