The Four Seasons

Wichita State University Chamber Players

A remarkable donation of Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons from the Wichita State University Chamber Players. This was uploaded as one of twelve files; I am nominating the first movement as a stand-in for the entire piece. Not only is this a fine performance of an iconic work from a large ensemble, it is technically well-recorded and we are fortunate to have been given the entire work, not just a selection.

Nominate and support. - Pharos 20:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Clean recording, well played. I'm fine with this movement representing the others in FS, as long as they all link to each other. --Tewy 23:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The only problem with some of the other uploads is a few coughs. --Tewy 04:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment So far the first recording is good if a little turgid, except it cuts out just before the cadence! A trill with no final note! Oh, the pain! Also, it is huge. Huge. So, anyway, I took the liberty of making an edit, see above, although the in-browser player probably won't work right away because of database lag or some-such. I normalised it, faded out the end so the missing candence isn't so jarring, and exported it at -5 (the level where humans can't tell the difference, but makes it a reasonable size for people to download). I can do this for the others as well, if there is a consensus that it is useful. Mak (talk) 19:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  - Ah, thanks. I've put an e-mail in to the professor, just to double-check. In the meanwhile, what do you think about the edit? Mak (talk) 19:28, 22 Februafrom the professor, the copyright is fine. Mak (talk) 01:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
