• ... that Hans Thamm, who founded the boys' choir Windsbacher Knabenchor in 1946 and conducted them for 31 years, recorded Bach's cantata Wer Dank opfert, der preiset mich, BWV 17, in 1961?

• Reviewed: Stanford University Libraries
• Comment: The cantata mentioned (and expanded) was for last Sunday.

• Dates and lengths both good. Hook fact(s) confirmed and no problems with close paraphrasing spotted. Article language is a little rough but hopefully a DYK appearance will attract the attention of some copy editors willing to smooth things out. Only concern is the article's claim that Thamm performed at Bachwoche Ansbach. While everything else in the article is supported proper references, I was unable to locate this fact in the cited source or any of the other sources used by the article. This should not stop the DYK however as, worst case, the article is long enough to qualify for DYK even if the sentence in question is removed. --Allen3 ^talk 09:20, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
