Talk:Mauthausen Trilogy

Spelling of Kambanellis

This article should presumably link to the author, whose article is now at Iakovos Kambanelis, which is titled with a single l. This raises the question of spelling his name. In Greek his name is Ιάκωβος Καμπανέλλης. While Romanizations are different, it seems that the double-l spelling in English is more frequent. The double-l is also used on the French Wikipedia. So I'd propose that the Mauthausen Trilogy article keep the current spelling of his name (Kambanellis) but that the article on the author be moved to Iakovos Kambanellis with two l's.

According to the Guardian's obituary of 2011 (fifth paragraph), Kambanellis was not Jewish. So the article's statement of his Jewish faith should be corrected. EdJohnston (talk) 21:17, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

@Ed: Thank you very much Ed. I agree with your points. I will also fix the ethnicity of Kambanellis. Dr. K. 22:18, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

By the way this source calls Kambanellis Jewish but I I will take the Guardian as a more authoritative source. Thank you for finding it. Best regards. Dr. K. 17:09, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I suggest removing the sentence "Theodorakis had granted permission for the use of his work during the play", since that seems to go without saying. EdJohnston (talk) 19:03, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

@Ed: It is included in the RS and, theoretically, since the theatrical play is not the same as the ballad, and it also includes Mahler's music, Theodorakis could have said no to such an arrangement. Dr. K. 19:52, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Premiere ?

"In May 1988, the world premiere of the "Trilogy" at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria ", but what about "the premiere of the Mauthausen song cycle in London in 1967" ? Can you have two different premiere ? Elfast (talk) 18:38, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
