Overall: Wow. You don't often see so many major achievements in one article. Did that man work hard. He reminds me of that documentary of Solti made while he was recording the Ring Cycle in '64 (here - once watched, never forgotten). Because his style was to have just one big crescendo in each piece instead of lots of sub-crescendos plus a big one, he had to have the whole lot in his head at once. Due to that, he could not sleep. Poor man. Reading your article, I fear that Albrecht must have been in the same position again and again. These conductors sacrifice so much for us - and that sacrifice is not visible. So bravo. Good to go. Storye book (talk) 17:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


Promoting slightly modified ALT1 to Prep 2. Gerda, let me know if you are more inclined for the main hook. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:09, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
