Maybe If It Had Been Framed Better,
By
This review is from: P.D.Q. Bach: Music You Can't Get Out of Your Head (Audio CD)
I think its significant that this was the only PDQ Bach album which didn't include any sort of framing sequence -- that is to say, there were no intros or outros to any of the pieces, which put the work into any sort of a context, humorous or otherwise. As such, I found it to be a very confusing album. Add to this, the fact that the humor of some of these pieces relies on a visual component which, oddly enough, doesn't really translate well on a CD. As such, I think this is just about the worst PDQ Bach album of the bunch. Of course, Peter Shickelie is a great composer, and so even the bad stuff is worth listening to, just don't expect the belly-laughs you might "Oedipus Tex" or "The 1712 Overture." Its only for hard-core fans, or music afficianods who can catch the frequently subtle musical jokes in the purely orchestral pieces.

PDQ AT HIS BEST,
By Matt Porter (NY, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: P.D.Q. Bach: Music You Can't Get Out of Your Head (Audio CD)
If you are looking for Peter Shickele and PDQ Bach at their best and funniest this is the CD for you. I am still trying to figure out how he can get away with calling it classical music! You really can't get it out of your head!
