Thanks for offering to review this article, IB. I look forward to addressing any concerns you may have. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Correct dead links
    • I cannot find a replacement for the KQAC link, and the Internet Archive / Wayback Machine does not help. I added the "dead link" tag, but does this mean the content needs to be removed altogether? ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:32, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • released by Dutch record label Pentatone in February 2015 --> Why not mention the actual release date?
  • The recording was the orchestra's third under Kalmar's leadership --> It was the third recording by the orchestra under Kalmar's leadership
  • It received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Orchestral Performance --> replace "It" with the album name
  • Split the first line of the first para in Background section into two.
  • The album was the third recorded during Carlos Kalmar's tenure --> Same comment as the one in the lead
  • It is written for: --> Why the colon sign here?
  • and received its premier by Serge Koussevitzky conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra on October 18, 1946 --> and was premiered by Serge Koussevitzky conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra on October 18, 1946
  • Same for the third symphony, why are we using colons here?
    • Done. The colons were added by a copy editor, but I agree, they are unnecessary. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • link stream to streaming media
  • The album received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Orchestral Performance, marking the third for Kalmar and the orchestra --> Link the particular year ceremony here somewhere
  • I'm having a readability issue with the Track list. Can't we use the {{track list}} template here?
    • Well, I am not sure how to use the track list template to display information for one classical composition comprising multiple album tracks. Any idea? ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the credits section, the footers regarding denoting who is what, can you make it internal wiki-redirects? Like when one clicks on the symbol of ^, it takes them down to " denotes guest musicians".
    • I am not sure how to do this, nor do I think linking is necessary. The symbol definitions are directly below where the symbols are being used. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove the publisher parameters from whichever references you are using, one glance I saw AllMusic and The Oregonian.
    • There is no harm having publishers displayed once. You'll notice the publisher is displayed only the first time a source is being used (The Oregonian, for example). ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • For PDF documents mention page numbers.
  • Online available web links you don't need to give ISSN numbers.
  • Conversely, you would have to give publisher ID/media ID for the cite album notes that you have given, along with the location where the album notes was generated, year etc.

Putting the article on hold, please ping and let me know once the comments are addressed. —IB [ Poke ] 09:36, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @IndianBio: Thank you for reviewing this article. I believe I have addressed your concerns, though I did have a question re: the KQAC dead link and I did not remove all publishers. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:33, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Its okay, they were suggestions just anyways and not strict for GA criteria. Congratulations I'm passing the article as a GA now. —IB [ Poke ] 11:32, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
