• Quick question - how do you differentiate between a studio album and a live album? The second "studio" album says it was recorded at "Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg", which clearly isn't a recording studio, and the fact that it was recorded in a concert hall implies that it is in fact a recording of a live concert. Or was it recorded at the concert hall but without an audience and therefore isn't really "live"? Could you clarify.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:14, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ChrisTheDude: More often that not, concertos for piano and orchestra cannot fit in a normal recording studio. Huge solo instrument, conductor’s podium, 90-100 players in the orchestra... Piano concerto studio recordings are thus usually taken in a concert hall. Acoustically it’s still great, maybe even better, and most major concert halls already have a professional microphone system (which they use frequently for radio broadcasts). For albums of classical music, it’s quite the “norm” to label live recordings as “Live Recording” or “Recorded live at...” because of how different they can be (and always are) from studio recordings For instance, his two Rachmaninov concerto albums were also recorded in a concert hall- Verizon Hall in Philly - but watch the trailer, or even see the photo on the back cover of the Variations album - it’s on AllMusic- and you can see that it’s not a live recording. Same case for the Tchaikovsky album. Hope that clears things up! Zingarese talk · contribs 15:56, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • That makes perfect sense, thanks. I'll do a full review later -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:00, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • @ChrisTheDude: Wanted to follow up vis-à-vis your full review. Regards, Zingarese talk · contribs 03:34, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Zingarese: - humblest apologies, I completely forgot. I am about to log off, but I promise (promise!) I will do it in the next 48 hours -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comments
  • "His first album for DG, The Carnegie Recital, was of a live recording from a recital" => "His first album for DG, The Carnegie Recital, was a live recording of a recital"
  • "such as those of Verbier and of Lockenhaus" => "such as those of Verbier and Lockenhaus"
  • "as well as Rachmaniana" => "and Rachmaniana"
  • "The first DVD included a documentary which included" - repetition of "included". If the first DVD only has this documentary, I would suggest changing the first "included" to "contained". If it has other stuff, change the second "included" to "featured"
  • "ranked on Billboard Top Classical Album charts" => "ranked on the Billboard Top Classical Album chart"
• Each album only has a ref against the release date - can you confirm that these refs also support everything else (the recording date and location and the contents)
  • "Format: CD4" - is that a typo? Never heard of a "CD4" before.........
• Think that's it from me........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:37, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Dear @ChrisTheDude: Thank you for your comments; i have made all of the changes that you suggested. I can also confirm that the references support all other details of each album in addition to the release dates. The reason why the references are behind the release date is because it was suggested above (previously, I had put them behind the album titles).

  • You still had that "included.....included" thing at the end of the first paragraph, but I have fixed that for you and am now happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:33, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this list, and the associated work on the main Daniil Trifonov article, are excellent. I really appreciate the effort put in to cover the 3b concerns. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:52, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
