Wilke te Brummelstroete

 * ... that Wilke te Brummelstroete performed the alto parts in Volume I of the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage which received in 2005 the Gramophone Award Record of the Year?


 * Reviewed: Somalatha Subasinghe
 * Comment: After not editing for a few days, I found this one, now a little too old to be called new, and a little too short to be called expanded. (I should have started more stubby ...) Ignore some rules for a Woman in Red article?

 * Symbol question.svg Article is close enough to new enough ;) No copyvio or close paraphrasing; neutral; no BLP problems; QPQ done., two quibbles with the hook:
 * The article does not, strictly speaking, say she performed the alto parts, although the rest of the hook is stated and cited. (Also, footnote 2 says it's in German but the link is to the English version.)
 * The hook would read better as "that Wilke te Brummelstroete performed the alto parts in Volume I of the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage which received the Gramophone Award Record of the Year in 2005?" or "...received the 2005 Gramophone Award Record of the Year?"

 * Thanks for a review with understanding. Will think, no time no rush. Saying alto there is meant to tell a reader about her voice type without using the monster of a word "contralto" + she is also mezzo-soprano. It would be nonsense to repeat in the article a voice type for every composition. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:28, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree that would be nonsense. The stumbling block is that "alto" doesn't appear anywhere in the article.... and I am embarrassingly ignorant about this topic but it isn't necessarily the case that a mezzo-soprano would sing the alto part, is it?

 * Well, what can we do? The word "mezzo-soprano" didn't even exist at Bach's, nor Vivaldi's, it's her voice type but not what the score says, Bach knew only SATB = soprano alto tenor bass. example, here pictured, and the soprano part on volume I was sung by Joanne Lund. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:53, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
