Golem (Casken opera)

~~... that John Casken's 1989 opera Golem received the first Britten Award for Composition?~~ Source: book source

- new and long enough (barely). Inline citations checks. Review made. No image to review. Hook looks interesting enough for inclusion. BabbaQ (talk) 22:10, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

What is this award? If it's notable, can a page be started to link it? Yoninah (talk) 21:54, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

No idea. Midnight, and Easter for 2 days. Patience please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

I would have created a page on the Britten Award for Composition myself but research on the internet came up with almost nothing on it beyond John Casken being the first winner for Golem and Philip Cashian being the second winner, though I don't know what the composition was in his case. I've emailed the Britten Pears Foundation today who, if anyone should, should have more information. Let's see what they come back with. --Marosc9 (talk)

@Marosc9: thank you. But if it's not a notable award, why are you using it as a hook fact? Could you suggest another hook? Yoninah (talk) 22:48, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

I think you need to ask those questions of the nominator Gerda Arendt. I'm hoping the Pears Britten Foundation will be able to provide enough of a lead so that I can write an article on the award.

Suggesting ALTs below, might work better since the award in question does have an article (which says that it is considered the Oscars of classical music):

ALT1 ... that John Casken's 1989 opera Golem won the 1991 Gramophone Classical Music Award for Best Contemporary Recording?

ALT2 ~~... that John Casken's 1989 opera Golem is a recipient of a Gramophone Classical Music Award, often considered as the "Oscars of classical music"?~~

Thank you for offering. ALT1 is fine by me. ALT2 has too much focus on the award for my taste. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Reviewer needed to check ALT hooks, and also to do the rest of the "within policy" checks (neutrality and free of close paraphrasing, etc.). Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:34, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

This article was new enough when nominated and is long enough. The ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. However, the article needs some citations for the "Roles and scoring" section and for the first paragraph of the "Recordings" section. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:08, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Will look but not today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:03, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Ok, looked, reorganised a bit, used ref Schott more which has the details. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:26, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. This nomination is now good to go with ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:52, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
