Comment. The criteria in WP:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines#Notability of recordings is from an essay by a WikiProject and does not carry the broad support of wikipedia policy. Further, this guideline section is currently being considered for removal for WP:NPOV concerns, as well as its conflict with the policy at WP:NALBUM.4meter4 (talk) 01:20, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per criteria one of WP:NALBUM. The article was reviewed in Music Magazine, Volumes 6-7, page 35, 1983; Opera, Volume 53, page 371; Stereo Review, Volume 47, page 104, 1982; Gramophone, Volume 72, page 113, 1995; BBC Music Magazine, Volume 15, Issues 7-13, page 68, 2007. The work also has its own entry on page 898 of the reference work The Penguin guide to compact discs and cassettes, Ivan March, Edward Greenfield, Robert Layton, Penguin Books, 1994. In addition to these offline sources, the article was reviewed here in The New York Times.4meter4 (talk) 03:32, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (starting to feel like a scratched record repeating the same thing:)), meets WP:NALBUM with multiple reviews.Coolabahapple (talk) 10:37, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this has taken a tremendous amount of my time this week User:Coolabahapple. User:Softlavender was a bit hasty in taking these articles to AFD. It's largely the result of a badly misguided essay that was endorsed by a small handful of editors at WP:WikiProject Classical Music. The benefit of doing this work though, is it illuminates how bad that essay really is and will hopefully lead to it's alteration to align with WP:NALBUM and WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 15:36, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NALBUM. The article's COPYVIO issue has been addressed - brief review excerpts will appear in due course. Incidentally, Leppard's account of his experience with this opera in Paris - which you can read on amazon - is a bit of a comedy classic.Niggle1892 (talk) 00:48, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
