Opera vocalist

[edit]

On 12 June 2012, the category Category:Baritone vocalists was replaced by Category:Baritone opera vocalists. I think that's inappropriate because Fischer-Dieskau was not mainly known as an opera singer, but for his lieder singing. This is one case were the standard rule of category diffusion fails – he is mainly known as a classical baritone singer and thus ought to be categorised in Category:Baritone vocalists, but he has also sung in operas, so placing him in Category:Baritone opera vocalists is not wrong. I suggest to have both categories here.
The same applies to Category:Kathleen Ferrier (vocalist). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:33, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
