THE WURST OF P.D.Q. BACH - 1971 Double LP (Vanguard - VSD-719/20)
Description: This 2-record set is a wonderful example of a humorous tongue-in-cheek approach to classical music featuring the works of P.D.Q. Bach, claimed by Professor Peter Schickele (of the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople) to be the last but least of J.S. Bach's twenty-odd children.
Selections:
Disk 1 Side 1:
Concerto for Horn and Hardart, S. 27 (1. Allegro - 2. Tema con variazione - 3. Menuetto con Panna e Zucchero)
Cantata - Iphigenia in Brooklyn, S. 53162 (Aria - Recitative - Ground - Recitive - Aria)
Disk 1 Side 2:
New Horizons in Music Appreciation--Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
Schleptet in E flat Major, S. 0 (Larghissimo - Allegro Boffo - Menuetto con Brio ma senza Trio - Adagio Saccharino - Yehudi Menuetto - Presto Hey Nonny Nonnio)
What's My Melodic Line?
Madrigal, "My Bonnie Lass She Smelleth", S. 1601 (from "The Triumph of Thusnelda")
Disk 2 Side 1:
"Unbegun" Symphony
Half-Act Opera, "The Stoned Guest" (Highlights: a. Introduction - b. Overture - c. Aria, "Now is the Season" - d. Trio - e. Opera Whiz, Peter Schickele with Will Jordan and Bill Macy - f. Synopsis of plot - g. Finale of Opera)
Disk 2 Side 2:
Fugue in C minor from The Toot Suite, for Calliope Four Hands
Oratorio, "The Seasonings", S. ½ tsp. (Tarragon of virtue is full - Bide thy thyme - Then asked he - By the Leeks of Babylon - Then she gave in - Open sesame seeds - Summer is a cumin seed - To curry favor, favor curry)
Condition: Very good, I'd say. I played it recently and it still sounded great, with no skips and only some occasional light clicking. The vinyl appears to just have some light superficial smuding / scuffing. The labels are very clean with no noticeable wear. The jacket is a bit scuffed with some tearing along the spine.
**NOTE**: Shipping charges are discounted when more than one of my items are purchased at the same time. See what else I have to offer!
