Hans Stadlmair? Wilhelm Killmayer? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Stadlmair and Killmayer done. I really like both of those pictures. We are lucky to get the use of those. Storye book (talk) 09:56, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree! Thank you. - We just remembered Stadlmair last weekend. My brother auditioned for the orchestra, and had to sightread something. He asked if he should play the repeat. Stadlmair answered: "You may repeat as often as you like until you are satisfied." Brother played the repeat as the composer had prescribed.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:26, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Haha. Or, oh dear. It depends ... Storye book (talk) 10:38, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- In the end it was good, I think, - he would not have matched the then Bavarian orchestra, and was happy where he landed instead. - Viktor Fogarassy? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Fogarassy done. Sorry I could find no actual photo of him. If you happen to find one, and if you prefer it, I would be happy to change it, and get this one deleted. Actually I like it myself - it shows the character of the man. Storye book (talk) 19:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much. It's great, and shows at a glance that he has to do with contemporary art. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Excellent, that is a good point. Storye book (talk) 08:04, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! Can you deal with the image q for Tatiana von Metternich-Winneburg? If it's true that it shows Marie, her sister, it should be moved to her article, and hopefully a different one found, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Done, both articles and both image files. A swap like that can be a bit muddly, so please would you kindly take a quick glance at both articles and both image files, in case there are any obvious errors? I think it's all OK, but a fresh eye would be a good idea. Thanks. Storye book (talk) 12:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Looked and liked! Tatiana at the time I met her, Marie as on the book right below. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! Storye book (talk) 16:59, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- On the bicentenary of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, I remember our recent uplifting choral concert in pictures, on my user page and in my concerts (leading to the two at the church's article). The closest was in the paper. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I think we'll all be listening to that today. And that's a great photo in the paper. Storye book (talk) 07:36, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with both! Pic shows making music happily together, "to joy". (We were in the opening movement of BWV 104.) Maria didn't stand next to me this time, she offers the most attentive look at the conductor, her husband. Two of her daughters performed, one the alto soloist (as in the Misatango, remember?) and one in the alto section. The tenor soloist was seen singing with the choir also. He came all the way from Iceland, and his singing was such an inspiration. I didn't get a chance for a photo as the soloists never rehearsed with us, and I entertained guests while they rehearsed. I put a 2021 Bach yt in his article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:12, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oh yes! I just had a quick listen on YouTube, to Benedikt Kristjánsson singing Love in her Eyes, out of Acis and Galatea (Handel). Dee-lish! Weak on the low notes, but who cares. The middle and top tones are just gorgeous. Thank you for the article link. Storye book (talk) 10:33, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

I linked to the article on 29 March ;) - his 2020 lone St John Passion (singing almost everything) at Bach's grave is still on his website. - Hin Bredendieck? - if we may have a non-free portrait instead of a chair. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:50, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Done. Image may be free of copyright in Germany - ask a German copyright expert? Storye book (talk) 11:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Nice! - Today is the Feast of the Ascension for which Bach composed his oratorio, - perhaps watch a bit how the closing movement was performed in Bach's church. David Erler, their alto soloist, was ours in the Mass in B minor in 2013, - small world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, I watched it. Lovely1 Storye book (talk) 08:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Magdalena Hinterdobler is on the Main page today, together with an opera that reviewers deemed not interesting and too obscure for our general readers. The soprano thought differently, - listen and see. - Also on the Main page: a TFA by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:39, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Well done, re the Magdalena Hinterdobler nom. Sorry to hear we've lost another editor. Storye book (talk) 11:33, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- The death of Vami was the shock of the year (so far), and we have another TFA by him today. At a more mature age died Gerhard Müller (Lutheran theologian) - [1] - pic? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:17, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Müller done. Storye book (talk) 16:19, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, - I almost knew you'd take that one ;) - today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:19, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- I heard lovely chamber music today, and the DYK mentions "profoundly human" singing (that you can watch), connected to a place where we'll sing in September --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Wow. That is truly fabulous singing. Thank you for that link. I wonder if he sings lieder? That would work. Storye book (talk) 08:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, he sings lieder a lot, but I never had a chance to hear him live - yet. When I was introduced to Bach's Passions, his dad and Theo Altmeyer were the Evangelists. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:27, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Having looked at Altmeyer's (sad) article: can you perhaps give a date/year to the image? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:32, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Done. His face is too wrinkly to be under 40, and too youthful to be over 60. He has black "hat hair", i.e. he is probably dyeing his hair which would be greying by age 50. His face is wrinkled in a way that some smokers have, so he is probably wrinkling early. He wants to look hip - he is wearing the "serious artist" uniform of black polo neck and smart suit jacket - a style that started with the beatniks and moved to the popular and formal music worlds in the 60s. Hope that helps. This is not a criticism - it was a popular look between the 60s and 80s.Storye book (talk) 09:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Ernest Prestwich edit
On 12 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ernest Prestwich, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Harrogate War Memorial, by Ernest Prestwich, names 1163 casualties of the First and Second World Wars, of whom more than 300 have unknown graves, and the youngest was 15 years old? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ernest Prestwich. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ernest Prestwich), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
