Cavalleria Rusticana

I've listened to this a couple times, and, although the applause was hugely indulgent of them to leave in (3 minutes of applause in a 6 minute recording?!), it's a very good recording, with good balance and, although I'm not an expert on Cavalleria rusticana, I don't hear any really obvious problems, though I found a few minor quibbles when I really went searching for them (a chair noise near the start, that sort of thing). An excellent recording of the emotional music of verisimo opera.

If someone can losslessly trim oggs, I'd suggest that trimming right before the start of the applause (you always want to let instruments "ring" for a couple seconds) would probably be wise.

• Nominate and support. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 05:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
• Comment Chopped out the clapping and left as much pre-clapping silence as I could. I am now proceeding to upload the clapping as a seperate file, as applause does not have a sound. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:43, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Heh. I actually wondered whether it'd be useful to have the applause as a sound. =) Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:53, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
    • It's at File:Applause.ogg. Oh, and by the way, I'm abstaining in order to close for this nomination. Sven Manguard Wha? 20:10, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
      • Screw it, X! (or someone else) can close this one, Support - It's a beautiful piece, it's technically sound, and I'd hate to see it go to waste from lack of voters. Sven Manguard Wha? 09:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
• Support Although I think it sounds a bit muddy it is a fine version of this piece by an orchestra with a mixture of pro and am players. Major Bloodnok (talk) 23:03, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
• Support Absolutely stunning --Guerillero | My Talk 01:25, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
