New Horizons in Music Appreciation for orchestra & commentators

P.D.Q. Bach
The Wurst of P.D.Q. Bach

One of my favorite interpretations of Beethoven 5, and certainly the most amusing of the many thousands that have been attempted since the work’s premiere in 1808.

[From an album that also features appearances by Jorge Mester, former and current music director of the Louisville Orchestra; not to worry, my performance of the Fifth with the LO tonight won’t reach for the comedic heights scaled by Schickele, Mester, et al.]
