Talk:Ida Haendel

message: She has the reputation of being as accomplished and brilliant a violinist as Yehudi Menuhin and Isaac Stern; but has said that had she been more photogenic, she would have been as famous. She is arguably the greatest female violinist who has ever lived, with a recording repertoire unmatched by any other woman playing the violin.
This is false, ridiculous, and sounds like a parody. 208.87.248.162 (talk) 23:54, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ida Haendel is a fine violinist, but the comments quoted above are ridiculous and certainly do not constitute information worthy of an encyclopedia. It's fan blubber.

But I guess the inline citations make up the body. Marlindale (talk) 16:11, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: How to edit the References?

message: Nothing more. I have a concern about one of the references listed, from ClassicalSource, which is linked to. It found it to be very commercial, with advertising irrelevant to music. Marlindale (talk) 00:43, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Infobox templates that contain many blank fields, question marks and unknowns present an unprofessional appearance, diminishing Wikipedia’s reputation as a high-quality encyclopedia.” Quis separabit? 17:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I would like to know when Ida Haendel emigrated from Poland, and where she went. Since she is said to be British, I guess she first went to the UK, but I guess she later moved to the US, since she apparently lived (still lives?) in Miami. Rbakels (talk) 11:49, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It's complicated. Born in Poland in 1928, became a British citizen in 1940 at age 12, as usual for foreign born children, became a Canadian citizen in 1952, lived in Montreal from 1952 to 1989, lived in Miami from 1990 to 2020. She was a British/Canadian citizen and an American resident. According to her surviving family members.Tennisedu (talk) 23:37, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

message: My father tells me that she played at his school in 1939, when he was 11. He remembers her as a teenager, not as a child younger than him. This suggests to me that the 1923 birth date is correct.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.26.201 (talk) 20:41, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date of birth 

message: BR-Klassik: 30 June; Guardian: 1 July. The date of death is not confirmed. Any comments? Grimes2 (talk) 20:34, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Guardian obituary by Robert White published on 1st July, gives 1 July 2020. The obituary in BR-Klassik does state 30 June but was published on 1 July, so perhaps was in error. I will send the source a query. -- Deborahjay (talk) 19:14, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: NZZ, Der Spiegel etc. state "Nacht zum Dienstag", this would mean 29/30 June, so 1 July is obviously wrong. Grimes2 (talk) 19:39, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Washington Post: 1 July. Grimes2 (talk) 05:33, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Nephew Richard Grunberg wrote 1 July on Facebook: "It is with heavy heart that I let my Facebook friends and family know that my beloved aunt, the legendary and world renown violinist Ida Haendel, passed away peacefully last night at her home in Miami." My interpretation is, that the date of death was 30 June or 1 July and can not exactly be determined. It's the same case as Mariss Jansons (30 November / 1 December 2019).
