The Carnival of the Animals[edit]

A complete recording of Camille Saint-Saëns' The Carnival of the Animals (in fourteen movements) by pianists Neil and Nancy O'Doan and the Seattle Youth Symphony. Conducted by Vilem Sokol.

Such a major work deserves -even needs a full recording for Wikipedia. This is a professional recording, with the famous and hugely respected Seattle Youth Symphony, which shows off the work to great effect.

Used in The Carnival of the Animals, Seattle Youth Symphony, Camille Saint-Saëns, Vilem Sokol

question when was it recorded? Zginder 2008-09-15T19:57Z (UTC)
- Not sure, but the Vilem Sokol was only conductor of the Seattle Youth Symphony until the 80s, and Pandora Records was established in 1973, so... circa 1980. The Pandora Records archive isn't always as detailed as one might hope. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 23:27, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is the Cortado player acting funny for anyone else? I've put a bugzilla report in, but I swear this project suffers more from bad coding than any other featured project. Oh, well, if it is, download it for now. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 23:53, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just listened to it, it sounded fine. Played til the end. Support. - Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ contribs} 05:22, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose until the en dashes are fixed (year ranges) and there's a space after "c.". See MoS. Pity these music recordings are on the fizzy side. Is it ogg or the source? Now, the so-called "votes" of two co-nominators can't possibly be counted as part of the three required "votes" after 14 days. Otherwise, it's an inbuilt two-thirds of the requirement just on nomination, which would be ridiculous. This is supposed to be a review process, not one of self-congratulation.

- Should be fixed. However, as one nominator vote has counted towards the three throughout the Featured sound run, and on every other featured project, I'd suggest that they count as at least one collective vote. Sadly, while we're a viable project now, we're still not quite out of the inbred early stage. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 10:37, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
