Right. This article looks pretty good at first glance; let's start with the few things that'll need dealt with:
First of all, there are a few bits which, while likely sourced or easily sourced, technically are not. I'll mark the smaller cases with citation needed tags, but, while I suppose we can take the recordings as self-citing - there's sufficient information about each of them, I'd like to see sources for the list of works, and clarification as to whether it's a complete list (to a specific date), or a selected list.
As for sources - well, I don't read Danish very well, so, I'm going to assume good faith to some extent, but I will ask: Can you please review the sources, and assure me that they may all be considered reliable sources?
We can move on from there once that's done. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 01:58, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Right then! I've given it a careful read through, and I think this is an excellent article. A little more work, and I wouldn't be surprised to see this as a Featured Article. Its prose is generally very good, but it could use a copyeditor before FAC, just to smooth out the occasional minor point: It's perfectly readable, and usually perfectly grammatical, but the occasional sentence can be a little unpolished. The worst I noticed was: The cantata's text is by the author Iben Krogsdal; based on the story of Saint Cecilia, who died in a gruesome way for her Christian faith, it has been described as "moderate modernism" with a special "Danish tone" and a transparent chamber musical instrumentation. - and you know, that's perfectly comprehensible, it's just kind of odd, with the off-hand mention of her gruesome death, and it has the only grammatical errors I've noticed: the semicolon should be a comma, and it needs a full stop or semicolon after "faith".
But please don't get me wrong. The text is very well-written on the whole, it just needs a little polish to get to FA-quality.
The only other suggestion I'd give is to consider fair using one or two short samples of his music. The Infinite Second has a particularly interesting description, and might be a good choice to show some of the extremes of his style, so long as a sample can fairly represent it.
In any case, excellent work. Pass. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 23:47, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
