  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:MUSICBIO) but presently it is not clear that it does.
    As other reviewers have noted, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
    Please note that many of the references are not from sources that are considered reliable for establishing notability and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, Spotify, YouTube).
    The numerous dead links to non-existent Wikipedia articles should be removed (see Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor and Wikipedia’s Manual of Style for help).
    Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a CV, which Wikipedia is not.
    Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
    Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:MUSICBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 23:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


Raphaela Gromes (March 16, 1991 -) is a female cellist from Germany.

Biography

She was born in Munich, Germany and started learning the cello from her mother at the age of four. In 2005, she made her solo debut by playing the "Concerto for Cello and Wind Orchestra" composed by Friedrich Gulda.[1] Since then, she has performed major cello concertos by Haydn, Dvorak, Elgar and Saint-Saens.[2]

From 2006, Gromes studied with Peter Bruns at the University of Music and Theatre Mendelssohn-Bartholdy in Leipzig, from 2010 with Wen-Sinn Yang at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Munich, and later with Reinhard Latzko at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. She also studied in master classes with renowned cellists such as David Geringas, Yo-Yo Ma, Frans Helmerson, Jens Peter Maintz, László Fenyö, Daniel Müller-Schott, Kristin von der Goltz, Wolfgang Boettcher, Anner Bylsma and Wolfgang Emanuel Schmid.[3][4]

Her achievements include winning First Prize at the "2012 Richard Strauss Competition" and the "2016 Concorso Fiorindo Turin", and she was also awarded "German Music Competition Prize" in the solo cello category.[5]

After making her first recording with Faro Classics in 2016, she has been an exclusive artist with Sony Classical and released her first album "Serenata Italians" with arranger and pianist Julian Riem in September 2017 consisting of a cello and piano duet pieces by late romantic composers like Giuseppe Martucci, Leone Sinigaglia, Ferruccio Busoni, and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Praised by one·of greatest cellists Yo-Yo Ma for her 'courageous curiosity and energy', she has since worked as a piano duo and recorded many of them with Riem.[6][7]

In November 2018, Gromes released Sonny Classical's second album, "Hommage à Rossini", and in May 2019, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Jacques Offenbach's birth, she released a third album "Offenbach", which received an award "Opus Klassik 2020”, one of the prestigious awards of classical music in Germany, in the category chamber music/duo.[3][8]

In October 2021, Gromes released the album "Imagination", which includes a selection of pieces related to "fairy tales" as imaginative and story-based music. It includes a waltz of Tchaikovsky's ballet music "Sleeping Beauty", "Fairy Tale" by Robert Schumann and "Evening Prayer" by Engelbert Humperdinck from his famous fairy-tale operas "Hansel and Gretel".[10]

In January 2023, Gromes released "Femmes", a collection of pieces by female composers such as Clara Schumann, Pauline García-Viardot, Amy Beach, Florence Price, Nadia Boulanger, Rachel Portman, and Lera Auerbach. Gromes said it will continue to focus its projects on female composers.[11][12]
