I particularly recommend her performance of Chopin's Scherzo No. 3: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chopin_-_Scherzo_No._3_%28re-recorded%2.... Quote (admittedly opinionated!) from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherzo_No._3_%28Chopin%29: "The Scherzo No. 3, Op. 39, in C-sharp minor by Frédéric Chopin, completed in 1839, was written in the abandoned monastery of Valldemossa on the Balearic island of Majorca, Spain. This is the most terse, ironic, and tightly constructed of the four scherzos, with an almost Beethovenian grandeur." Hope you enjoy,
Pine

yes reguyla, I hear you. I too have been bullied by whitewriter on wikipedia and there is a total mess up on the neutrality and consistency of policy on the wikipedia for kosovo. I started the speedydeletion.wiki.com project to capture the deleted articles.
You will find bulling and unfriendly people in all open source/open data projects I found.
