Article is recent enough (created 25 January), long enough, and neutral. The hook is supported by the inline citations and the article is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. QPQ is met and, in regards to the hook, the only thing I could suggest is to put Blonde into italics. Not being an expert on classical music I had no idea what "recording Blonde" was supposed to mean until I looked further into the article and it confused me a fair bit.

- Thank you, but we don't usually put part names in italics, only opera titles, such as "Radames in Aida". Is the following clearer?

- Very much so. This will help the unfamiliar ones (like myself) to understand the sentence much better. Calistemon (talk) 07:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
