Free Music Review: "And lo, she found herself within a market, and all around her fiiiiiiish were dying, and yet their stench did live on."
Hit: 5 Stars
This is my favorite PDQ CD. We learn a good deal about the illustrious youngest son of J.S. Bach - for example, we learn about the various periods by which the composer's works have been classified by critics: 1) The Early Period; 2) The Soused Period (by far the longest of the three) and finally, 3) Contrition.
I was lucky enough to see a few PDQ Bach concerts at Carnegie Hall. Once, during a performance of "Iphigenia In Brooklyn," my sister and I sat next to a man who I thought might have a coronary, he was laughing so hard, and then he'd start laughing at something else, so he couldn't catch a breath. That is what a PDQ Bach concert is like.
"Iphigenia in Brooklyn" alone is worth the price of this CD. And the more you know about music (basic stuff, really) the funnier it is.
"And in a vision she saw her brother Orestes, who was being chased by the Amenities, and he cried out in anguish..." Sorry, you'll have to hear the rest of that by yourself. There are no words to describe it.
