A fact from Karsten Januschke appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 March 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Karsten Januschke's conducting of Offenbach's Die Banditen was described as producing a "lean, dry, [and] delicate" sound with an ensemble of 22 soloists, including 11 tenors?

Comment: This conductor's birthday - as I noticed when looking at the references - is on 4 March, therefore I believe that a DYK on that day would be a nice gesture. His contemporary achievements are perhaps more unique, but this great piece is also rarely played. The original title is in French, but it was given in a new German version, and the German title is closer to The Bandits, - a title that is interesting, I think.
Thank you. The article was originally translated from German. I hope to find a ref, but it wasn't as simple as using the next one following ;= - I commented it out until I find one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good to go with ALT 0, 1 or 2. I personally like ALT2 because it emphasizes the 11 tenors, which are as rare as hen's teeth in my country, so wow. Request 4 March, because it is the subject's birthday. Storye book (talk) 12:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
