The piece is made and composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte in 1787 for use in an opera. This piece is in Opera, Don Giovanni, List of major opera composers and List of compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. As mentioned, it is 6 minutes, 49 seconds long and was recorded in 2000 by the Fulda Symphonic Orchestra. It is a really good file, and deserves a spot as a Featured Sound.

Support: Amazing quality historical file - I'm surprised it's not already featured! Dendodge|Talk^Contribs 19:23, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It's not a historical file. It was recorded in 2000 by a semi-professional, semi-amateur orchestra, see Fulda Symphonic Orchestra. This version of the overture is a bit slow and doesn't have great clarity. We could do better, though it's an adequate stopgap. It shouldn't be elevated to featured status however. --Klein zach 00:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I reluctantly must agree that while this recording is nice, it falls short of featured sound quality. I would expect a free license modern performance that is of higher professional quality and/or a historically interesting recording for this piece.
