Avenue Q will only fuel the frustration of those who think that Broadway has given up on sophisticated entertainment geared to adults. "Whatever happened to Cole Porter's witty rhymes and mature subject matter?" they'll say. Well, it's hard to deny that Avenue Q's main frame of reference is Sesame Street and that its humor can be very broad--yes, there's profanity and puppet sex. But the show also displays heart ("The More You Ruv Someone" typically begins with "Why can't people get along?") and a pretty satisfying zany streak. Musically, the score is rooted in 1970s pop, with nods to the aforementioned Sesame Street. The excellent cast, dominated by John Tartaglia and Stephanie D'Abruzzo, does it justice, milking the humorous numbers for all they're worth and finding pathos in the more straightforward ones. Not bad for a childish show. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

mind blowing.......2007-06-14
Seriously, this is the BEST musical that has EVER been created. And the soundtrack is the same.
What fun!.......2007-06-13
I knew what I was walking into when I ordered my tickets for Avenue Q in April 07, since I read several reviews. And it is truly one of the funniest musicals I've ever seen. The harmless and classical tunes belie the racy and politically incurrent, but honest lyrics. I can't remember the last time I sat in a theater with almost everyone rolling in the seats. The only people not rolling apparently were not aware of the content and were shocked.
That's why I bought the soundtrack. Listening to it makes me laugh all over again.
Don't see/hear this Production..........2007-05-31
If this CD is anything like the production we saw in Las Vegas, forget it! Unless you want to be preached to, that is, and by muppet-like characters to boot. You wouldn't expect anything but the best performance in Vegas; the tip off should have been that we were able to buy tickets within the hour--not a good sign. We left at intermission. /sl
Great for college grads.......2007-05-24
Don't make the mistake that I did and send this CD to a high-school grad. However this CD would be great for anyone after the first year of college.
Don't send it to a relative though. Embarrassing.
Excellent!.......2007-05-18
Saw Avenue Q in New York in a few months ago. Having the CD lets you relive the experience.

It's no mean feat being the world's foremost crossover artist--a task that risks alienating two disparate audiences and everyone in between--but somebody had to do it, and Andrea Bocelli again walks that artistic tightrope with impressive deftness. The title may imply a casual intimacy (indeed, the singer admits to taking a more "hands-on" approach to the album's conception and production), but it's a collection that nonetheless continues to expand on the Italian tenor's ambitious internationalism. His collaboration "Sin Tu Amor" immerses his voice in the Gipsy Kings' own rich Iberian folk-pop fusion with compelling results, while "Where Love Goes" (a musical focal point of the film Lazarus Child), his English language duet with 11-year-old prodigy Holly Stell, achieves an almost liturgical grace. "Tu Ci Sei" (You Are There) continues in the romantic vein of his familiar theme "Con Te Partiro" (Time to Say Goodbye), while the single "Dell' Amore Non Si Sa" (With Love You Never Know) features Bocelli in a signature dramatic tour de force collaboration with arranger Mauro Malavasi, the accomplished producer of the singer's Romanza and Sogno albums. Bocelli's shrewd taste and vocal prowess here not only again redeem an oft-maligned genre, but elevate it considerably in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
HOW DO YOU SAY,"WOW," IN ITALIAN?.......2007-06-22
BEFORE I START, LET ME SAY, THAT I AM A DANCE CLUB GUY AND THAT, ORDINARILY, THIS IS NOT MY KIND OF MUSIC. OF COURSE, I LAUGH AS I SAY THAT, AS, APPARENTLY, A NEW DOOR HAS OPENED IN MY LIFE, THANKS TO THIS MAN.
A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD HEARD ANDREA DO, "CON TE PARTIRO," ON A PBS SPECIAL AND MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS THAT ANY HUMAN COULD MAKE SUCH SOUNDS. I WAS ASTOUNDED; MORE ASTOUNDING, STILL, WAS TO HEAR THIS ALBUM AND FIND THAT HIS VOICE HAD ACTUALLY VASTLY IMPOVED OVER TIME. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? " CON TE..," PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE QUALITY OF THIS WORK; THE TRACKS ON THIS CD ARE PERFECT, FULL, RICH, AND MORE MOVING THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER HEARD. I HAVE HAD IT A WEEK, NOW, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE FOR VERY LONG, AND I PLAY IT OVER AND OVER. IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN AFFECTED LIKE THIS BY ANY VOCAL CD. IF HE NEVER RECORDED AGAIN HE WOULD HAVE MADE A MARK ON THE WORLD OF AUDIO NEVER TO BE ERASED OR FORGOTTEN. WHAT A VOICE! WHAT SONGS! THE CUT, "LIBERTA," ABSOLUTELY KILLS ME WITH FEELINGS OF JOY AND MARVEL. I HAVE EVEN TAKEN UP STUDYING ITALIAN BECAUSE OF IT.
TREAT YOURSELF, AND A GOOD FRIEND, TO THE SOUNDS ON THIS CD. SIT AND WATCH A SUNSET WITH IT ON... I MEAN NOW!
Just buy it........2007-05-30
If you like soft music that make's you feel up beat, just order a Andrea Bocelli CD. Listening to his CD's after being at work all day, is like having an option in life to hear and be somewhere else.
Teamo, Andrea Bocelli .......2007-03-08
One of his best. Need the lyrics translated from the Italian to the English inside the casing next time. Nonetheless, Mr. Bocelli has a beautiful voice. It made my wife and all my female co-workers swoon when they listened to it.
A new style from Andrea........2007-02-24
There were some ugly songs in here.(I absolutely hate to say that about anything Andrea.)But the good far outshone the bad.
Un Nouvo Giorno stunned me the first time I heard it.It was so unlike anything I had heard from Andrea- very pop.But it soon grew on me.
Liberta is amazing.Very catchy and upbeat.
Sempre O Mai is my favorite.It keeps its tempo up and has the best of Andrea and pop.Great song.
So this album was really a double album with pop and classical songs interspersed.A good mix from the master.
Not happy with delivery (or non delivery) of this item.......2007-01-16
When I ordered this on 12/04/2006 they said I would have it before Christmas. Then right before Christmas the delivery date was changed to mid-January. So I had to cancel my order and go, at the last minute, buy it at a store because it was a Christmas present. I wasn't happy about it and won't be buying from amazon for the holidays any longer.

She has already jammed with Gladys Knight in Las Vegas, eloped with influential R&B mogul R. Kelly, and scored two platinum albums--and she's just barely graduated from high school. No, she is not your average teenager, nor is she just another pretty soul singer. On One in a Million, Aaliyah expands on the smooth grooves of her massively successful debut album Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, and shows that all the life experiences have not gone to waste. The production and songwriting talents of Tim 'Timbaland' Mosley and rapper Missy Elliot give the songs on One In A Million a seductive edge with laidback grooves and cool hip-hop licks; but what really makes this album rise above is the full-grown singer at the controls. On the title track, a magical ballad, Aaliyah casts a cool spell with layered voices and a smoky delivery. With the assistance of Slick Rick, she turns Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up" into a funky hip-hop jam for the end of the millennium. While with "4 Page Letter," one of the album's high points, she intricately details the end of love affair. Artists twice her age could only hope to create a work of such clarity and resonance. --Aidin Vaziri

An Album That Defines An Era.......2007-03-30
The year was 1996, Urban R&B and Hip Hop had really gone from being in the backround with Gangsta Rap and New Jack Swing to the top of the mainstream charts with a more commercial sound that appealed for a broader audience. Blackstreet, Mary J Blige, Fugees, R. Kelly and Puff Daddy. Aaliyah was 17 at the time and almost about to graduate from highschool. She already had one album in her bag "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number" produced and written by R. Kelly that she also ended up marrying, but since she was underage the marraige was shortly annuled and they both went seperate ways. On Aaliyah's second album titled "One In A Million" she teamed up with a bunch of diffrent producers, which was quite rare at the time. Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins and the completely unknown producer Timothy Mosley, better known as Timbaland. Mosley had previously worked with Missy Elliott's band "Sista" but with limited resources and not much success. He and Missy (who hadn't released her debut album yet) teamed up together and wrote/produced 7 of the songs of Aaliyah's second album. The result would be revolutionary and differ from anything that was on the radio at the time. Timbaland created a unique sound that would take R&B closer to mainstream with "stuttering bass-heavy bounce beats offset resounding high-end synth stabs" and often making cameos on his productions but no sampling, everything was created by himself. All this was known simply as the "Timbaland Sound" and 10 years later he would not only be a super-producer but the greatest procucer of his generation. Aaliyah had also matured, at only 17 she sound much older and experienced and she's was now a complete singer that can stand on her own feet and the overall result is a more satisfying effort then her debut. It's also fulpacked with hits, apart from the wonderful title track produced by Timbaland, he also produced the hits "Hot Like Fire", "If Your Girl Only Knew" and "4 Page Letter". A Diane Warren penned ballad called "The One I Gave My Heart To" reached top 10 on the charts. Other then that, we'll also find some fine remakes, like Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up" with old skool rapper Slick Rick and Isley Brothers "Choosey Lover", later used by R.Kelly and Nas for a remix for "Street Dreams" and Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkin's "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" and Dupri's "I Gotcha Back". Intro and Outro included you get 17 songs of class and depth, and that is more then anyone could ask for, especially from someone so young. "One in A Million" is equally good as her third eponymous album and should end up in any music fan's collection. Sadly Aaliyah died in a plane crash in 2001 and the music world lost one of the most talented, beautiful and charismatic singers and I often wonder what she would have amount to in the future, it really looked so bright for her. Looking back 10 years in time I can clearly say that this album was something above the ordinary. R&B came closer to mainstream music, production was starting to have a bigger impact in music and Aaliyah made the best R&B album of the year together with Ginuwine's "The Bachelor" that was produced by...You know who.
Rest in peace Aaliyah.

When Devo's debut album came out in 1978, nobody knew what to make of the mutant new-wave quintet from Akron, Ohio. With Brian Eno's skillful production, Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Jerry and Bob Casale, and Alan Myers emerged fully formed and outrageous with their razor-sharp social commentary and exhibition of subversive media savvy. Beyond their industrial uniforms and pseudo-devolved demeanor, Devo also happened to be a rocking little band. Classic rave-outs like "Mongoloid," "Jocko Homo," and "Uncontrollable Urge" illustrate the band's perky-jerky intensity. On their inimitable cover of the Rolling Stones' youth anthem, "Satisfaction," Devo's avant-garde robot funk takes the song to a new level of alienation and discontent. While the band went on to greater fame, this was the only album they made that truly mattered. --Mitch Meyers
Customer Reviews:
Aww, Dad: We're ALL DEVO!.......2007-06-02
Wow. I was 14 when this came out, and it really got to me: I remember staying up all hours to get a chance to film (not record, film) DEVO's early films and videos on Don Kirshner's. Just the perfect antidote to Foreigner.
Yes, it is a real grounbreaker of an album and, strangely, has an original flavor that DEVO shed as quickly as they recorded their second album. The Akron anarchy still shines through on this one, though: the sense that these guys were having such a great time playing their joke on the spudboys at Warner Bros, and disbelieving they were getting the chance. 'Course, having Eno -- while he could still take a joke -- and Connie Planck involved in the production was a big help, too. For this album, it all REALLY worked. And the album got (for 1978, when, remember, Foreigner still reigned) kind of big, at least among the colllege and art school kids. Too bad that after this, the Smart Patrol really did have nowhere to go except into Noo Wave parody.
Look What The Rubber City Exported.......2006-09-27
A band that dressed like spacemen, moved like robots and had a painting of pro golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez gracing the cover of its first full-length album. No wonder Devo had to escape northeast Ohio to find their musical niche in London during the "Year of Punk (1978)."
The album actually was the band's second release, as producer Brian Eno worked with Devo on a 12-inch EP that covered much of the same quirky frontier, but had what I feel is a far-surperior rendition of Jocko Homo.
And if Devo would have stayed based in Akron and gigging throughout northeast Ohio, the name would have probably been used for a junk shop band members could have opened up. It seemed that folks cleared out their attics and basements to pelt the band with a variety of unique objects as they attempted to rip through sets of original material. Space Junk, indeed!
The album remains a classic nearly 30 years, with each song delivering a perspective on society that is literally out of this world. The cover of The Rolling Stones' classic (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction comes as close as any group has to one-upping Mick and the boys.
The lost love in Come Back Jonee, with truly punk perspectives on life - Too Much Paranoias, Uncontrollable Urge - and a twisted ode to a person with Down syndrome - Mongoloid - even made the unruly fans in concert's past hail Devo when they returned to Akron to promote the album.
Devo was truly the rubber city rebels.
If You Like Music, Buy This Album.......2006-09-14
DEVO has not been given appropriate credit for their contributions to modern music. Written off as a "One Hit Wonder" (for "Whip It" which is not on this album but is on "Freedom Of Choice"), DEVO bridged the gaps between punk and new wave and again from new wave to electronica. They have influenced more bands than most people realize. If you fancy yourself as one who has a big CD/MP3 collection, it is incomplete without this album! Also, visit their web site: http://www.clubdevo.com . They are still alive and kicking and they occasionally tour. Buy this album and go and see them. I've met them, they are very nice guys!
And Remember, De-evolution Is Real!
The Devolutionary Oath:
1. Be like your ancestors or be different. It doesn't matter.
2. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one.
3. Wear gaudy colors or avoid display. It's all the same.
4. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live.
5. We Must Repeat!
Devo's Best.......2006-09-03
This is not "Whip It".
This is, however, a very very good album by quirky New Wavers Devo.
Devolve and enjoy this stuff.
stood test of time for being bizarre.......2006-08-09
I liked this when it first came out b/c I was 16. I was a rebel, wanted to be part of something different. This is their best work since the weirdness does get lame after a while.
Favorite song is Mongoloid...totally strange but rocking song. "Uncontrollable Urge" rocks (in a weird way) and Come Back Johnny is almost a conventional song. Satisfaction is completely unique but its not a good song. The group was obviously trying to do more than music and develop a KISS, multi media, making money kind of thing.
I saw them live (they were horrible) during their hey day. The most interesting thing about them is while other odd bands were eventually accepted and integrated into the mainstream, DEVO is still as odd of a group as ever. Mark Motherbough does a lot of soundtrack work (Rugrats) and you can hear the DEVO in all of his work.
Anybody that gives this novelty group 5 stars is cheapening what true excellent music is. DEVO came out as a Goof, not as serious musicians. They got big in the 70's b/c they were part of the new wave and kids (like me) were looking for alternative music that we can claim our own.

Customer Reviews:
This is a MUST for anyone who enjoys classical music ... .......2006-06-07
...BUT not if you take it SO seriously that you have lost your sense of humor.
Peter Schickele (with whom I am occasionally confused - we apparently look alike!) - has got to be one of my all-time favorite composers. When I was in graduate school, I took considerable abuse from my fellow music lovers for actually having MORE albums by P.D.Q Bach than by J. S. Bach (though I think it was barely a one-point margin, really...)
But the "New Horizons in Music Appreciation" approach to Beethoven's 5th symphony is not only a musical analysis of the piece as it is being played, but a slam on the constant "blah-blah-blah" that one hears during ANY sports event.
"My Bonnie Lass She Smelleth" has got to be my all-time favorite spoof of the overly pompous "art song" oratorio. I've encouraged one of my colleagues (who directs the college chorale where I teach) to include it in a program, to no avail. One of these days, I'll put my money where my mouth is - and buy sheet music for the entire chorale.
This is one of only two albums that I have in (a) vinyl, (b) tape, and (c) CD format. That should be some indication of how very, very special I believe this to be. [The other, for those who are interested, is Joan Baez' "Diamonds and Rust."]
This has been around for years, and there's a good reason. Schickele is not only funny when he wants to be, but a supremely accomplished composer and musician, with dozens and dozens of serious musical scores to his credit as well.
PDQ Bach -- The Spike Jones of Classical Music.......2006-03-16
For the classical music lover, this is an amazing spoof. For those who do not know classical music well, this is still highly entertaining.
Recaptured (Twisted) Youth.......2003-03-31
My friend and I saw the good Prof. Schickele here in Pasadena last night (March 29th-- AND the conductor of the Pasadena Symphony is Jorge Meister!)-- and the last number on the program was the WONDERFUL "The Seasonings"-- I had a very hard time even after all these years of first hearing this on a REAL record of not singing along with every little tune!!! This piece last night, being sung by singers whom I do not doubt were not even born when I first heard a recording of it, were as good as the ones I remember from my decadent youth on the original recording. Buy this C.D. if only for this piece!
I store it in the CD changer in my car........2002-10-06
My favorite single line of music from this is from "The Unbegun Symphony". Who would think to combine "You are my sunshine", a
tune I have always thought of as sappy sweet, played on violins,
with a background of horns, (I don't know what piece, but it
makes me thing of something noble and civilized) making it a
definitive statement of a benevolent sense of life.
PDQ Bach's other works are delighfully absurd, as are Peter
Schickele's commentaries. (Well I have a new set of friends now)
New Horizons in Music Appreciation Indeed..........2002-08-08
It was while sitting in Music Appreciation in college that I was first introduced to the work of P.D.Q. Bach, specifically the track "New Horizons in Music Appreciation: Beethoven's Fifth Symphony," in which Professor Peter Schickele and Robert Dennis serve as the announcers for a spirited game involving the first movement of that particular work. Not only was it funny ("He's playing a cadenza! He's out of his mind! He thinks its an oboe concerto!") it was also more informative than the professor ("I get the feeling we are going to hear a lot of that four note motif, Bob").
One of the things about P.D.Q. Bach is that the more I learned about classical music the funnier I found it. Yes, I have enough memories of my mother insisting on playing the Texaco Opera quiz throughout the house on a Saturday afternoon to appreciate why "What's my Melodic Line?" and its exploration of the mysteries of the Baroque is funny, but it was not until I saw "Amadeus" and listened to "The Marriage of Figaro" that I understood why the recitatias in the Cantata "Iphigenia in Brooklyn" were hysterical (I was tempted to share this story of Iphigenia with my Classical Mythology class, but given their tentativeness to explore Euripides I did not think it wise to have them get neck deep in Schickele). Then again, the Madrigal "My Bonnie Lass She Smelleth" really needs no explanation, so there is something for everybody here, no matter what you level of understanding of classical music.
In discussing the works of P.D.Q. Bach with others it becomes clear that you can no more put together an idea collection of his "best" work than you can for lesser composers like Mozart or Beethoven. But you are certainly going to find a few old favorites and maybe one or two pieces that you have hitherto managed to avoid.
Now, if we can only get a University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople t-shirt...

The funniest Schickele piece ever!.......2006-05-23
My experience with the 1712 Overture is similar to Victoria's (in another review). I was listening to the car radio when I heard the dissonant pile-up halfway through, and almost drove off the Interstate.
It should be noted that the Amazon listing is incorrect. The 1712 Overture is in reality conducted by "Walter Bruno" who is actually David Zinman. It is most assuredly not conducted by Bruno Walter (can you imagine that?), who died in 1962.
Highly recommended.
P D Q on form again.......2005-07-20
P D Q has quite a cult following among the 'cognoscenti', and others may know some of his works without being aware of it or why. Much of this is fun listening if you have that kind of mind &/or background, and has the virtual ring of period authenticity.
Classical music, like any living corpus of cultural tradition (eg religion, sport & politics) should be well capable of laughing at itself. Others have done so successfully (Hoffnung, Spike Jones, the Comedy Harmonists et al.) and PDQ follows in a worthy & rollicking tradition!
beware of the organ cadenza!.......2005-05-18
This is my favourite PDQ Bach collection. The 1712 Overture alone is worth the price of admission. The use of the motif from 'I Ain't Got No Home' is inspired and the skewering of 'Day Tripper' reduces me to helpless giggles every time.
Einstein on the Fritz is a tonic to anyone sick of the pretentious meanderings of Philip Glass, Taverner et al. And Cappricio La Poucelle de New Orleans (engineered by Burt Bach, a living direct decendant of JS Bach) is frighteningly intense, as well as hysterical. These musicians are also terrific - the pieces wouldn't work at all otherwise. And who couldn't love the rapturous intro to The Preachers of Crimetheous - featuring the most incredible percussion playing since Ginger Baker's 'Toad'.
All in all, this is a completely ridiculous delight!
Another assault to your funny bone!.......2004-04-12
P Schickele does it yet again! He successfullly skewers the classics again. My personal fave is Einstein On The Fritz, where he does a wonderful job of spoofing Philip Glass.....Only the Prof. is so twisted as to be able to sneak in 'Three Blind Mice" in the middle of a Glassian composition!
PDQ Bach at his best (worst).......2001-11-13
Mr. Schickele is a genius, he's taken music history and disgraced it, apocryphally!
the 1712 overture pokes fun at just about every type of music out there, and what the 1712 doesn't defile, the rest of the tracks on this CD pick up the slack.
This incredibly irreverent album is a must for music lovers everywhere!
Get yourself a copy! You won't be disappointed!

As the godfather of modern-day turntablism, Qbert has been long overdue for a solo release. Wave Twisters is the obvious brainchild of Qbert's long-term fascination with sound and its malleability: using stacks of eclectic vinyl as his fodder, Qbert creates an album of songs by turning scraps of found sound into everything from rhythm sections to melodic tracks to quirky pieces of dialogue. You don't need to understand the technical complexities of scratching to appreciate it; Wave Twisters is simply the future of the funk--sonic play transformed by an equal mix of aural insanity and genius and put all back together by the hands of a master. --Oliver Wang
Album Description
DJQBert's Wave Twisters (Classic Cassette Tape) - The classic that spawned the movie.
" As you may know by now, this album is a concept album. Not only in story but in things I wanted to do in music as well. I wanted to have a variety of songs offering new and different things from skratch styles, to ways of composing, to ideas that people can make something new out of. At the same time, keeping its story line"
- Qbert
Album Description
Out of print in the U.S.! First full length official release from 1998 by one of the world's greatest and certainly most innovative turntablists (and former member of Invisibl Skratch Piklz alongside Mix Master Mike amongst others). Wave Twisters is the first 'scratch concept album' and tells the tale of an entire civilization that communicates only through the sound of scratching.

Qbert is dA ish............2006-08-01
Dj qbert
< one of the greatest if not the greatest scracth dj of all times.
what hasn't already been said??.......2005-01-29
Altough this album came out many years ago, the choas and organized madness that layers this piece still overwhelm even the most hardcore of tablist heads. even to those outside of the scratch community in the more "public music" mindset that appriciate it for the concept album that it is may still not understand the audio of the album unless they accompany that with the dvd film that was spawned by the album. This cd is....for lack of a better comparison, hip hops "Tommy", its "Rocky Horror Picture Show", or even "the Wall" to really praise this piece. To say it so few words, this is not a hip-hop concept album. but rather, it is THE hip-hop EPIC.
DJ Qbert's frenzied scratchfest.......2004-04-14
Fan's of turntablism and speaker shredding scratching will enjoy this CD. 'Wave Twisters' is a scratchfest cavalcade, similar to the turntablist ferocity of 'Live at Future Primitive Sound Session' by Cut Chemist. Hypnotic, trancelike, with spine-chilling beats. The samples are minimal, but maintain soulful, almost tribal-like pulsating rhythms, somewhat like NWA's 'Straight Outta Compton'. The scratches aurally bombard you from all angles, almost like spread-out laser-beams echoing in the dark. It's amazing how something relatively stripped-down can sound so powerful and dense. Essential.
HIP HOP THAT SHAKES YOUR BRAINSTEM.......2003-12-10
This album rocks intensely, to say the very least. Buy it. It will make all your hip hop dreams come true and destroy any hopes you had of becoming the world's greatest dj in one listen.
He's the Man!!.......2003-03-02
By far one of the most technically and musically talented dj's so far! Always ten steps ahead of the rest of the turntablist world. This can only be said about only so few dj's out there, It's been said to never show this man whatever scratch or new technique you've invented, 'cuz he'll take what you've invented and re-invent it and make it better. After hearing this album... I can beleive that!! Much respect to Qbert for paving the way in this art.. he's one of the few that make dj'n what it is, AN ARTFORM!! He's defenitely the man!!

One of the great Classics!.......2006-08-03
Oedipus Tex & Other Choral Calamities is one of the must haves from PDQ Bach. This album has some of his best stuff on it including the title tracks and one of the funniest songs he has composed "classical rap" this is well worth one's time to check out.
hilarity in music.......2002-10-25
Virtually every CD that Peter Schickele has put out under the name of PDQ Bach has been absolutely hilarious. This is one of his best albums - it will have you in stitches in no time flat.
"Oedipus Tex," the title piece, is a stunning parody of (of course) Sophocles "Oedipus Rex" - from the line "the gods are ticked off and now someone must pay" to the ending chorus of "the eyes of Texas are upon you" (set to the tune of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"), the piece is one of the funniest things I have ever heard.
"Classical Rap" - this track alone is worth the whole cost of the album. This "Yuppie" rap combines the stereotypes of rap music with Vivaldi and Bach, and has as its setting the upper West side of Manhattan.
"Knock Knock Cantata" - some of the worst jokes you'll ever hear set to some of the worst music you'll ever hear. The combination of text and setting is really hilarious - talk about form meeting content.
"Birthday Ode for Big Daddy Bach" - the more you know about music, the funnier this piece is.
BUY THIS CD.
Irreverent hilarity.......2002-08-09
Oedipus Tex is both my favorite Country/Western ballad and one of my favorite oratorios!
Classical Rap is, IMHO, the only Rap piece worth listening to.
This is one of "The Bad Boy of Classical Music", Peter Schickele's best recordings.
I am a PDQ junkie!.......2002-08-08
This was my first PDQ recording and it has kept me coming back for more.My father who hates music even LOVES it!It does take a special musician or music lover to appreciate the genius of such a man as Peter Shickele. Being a musician, I have performed numerous PDQ works in the past and they are extremely difficult.Oedipus Tex is by far the most ingenious album created, in my belief, in as far as its contents and musical professionalism.
Brilliant parody.......1999-10-16
Oedipus Tex is a brilliant parody... I had a teacher listen to it once and then it circulated around the entire English department. "Classical Rap" is a wonderful piece as well.

Kuijken reigns supreme!.......2007-05-04
These 5 symphonies were composed between the perennially popular 'Paris' and 'London' cycles in the late 1780's. Only the 92nd is named - 'Oxford', after Haydn received an honary doctorate from that university. It is a justly famous work, fully comparable with Mozart's late symphonies
The others are an absolute delight displaying the wit and brilliance of orchestration that had made Haydn famous throughout Europe. The largo of the 88th is surely one of Haydn's most beautiful!
There are a number of very commendable performances of the works available, though few offer the intuitive grasp that Kuijken and his players display, and at super bargain price.
Collectors of Kuijken's survey of Haydn's music need not hesitate, while others are strongly urge to.
fine, but better can be had.......2006-08-15
These are tenderly played and executed symphonies; but perhaps a little too tenderly and too strict an adherence to original practice technique. Take the magisterial symphony no. 92 as an example: well played, but lacking the excitement and incredible lush (and I may add, old fashioned) sound of Karl Böhm with the Vienna (nla). The introduction is stately, but lacks drive and passion and when the Allegro begins it is understated and under- whelming. I am no opponent of original instruments; I rather think Adam Fischer with the Austro Hungarian Haydn Orchestra maintains the drama and excitement of Haydn better though I have not heard him do these particular symphonies. For the bargain price I may be getting petty, after all they are played well and these are thoughtful performances but it may be a good idea to look elsewhere.
Great recording!.......2003-01-31
This is a great recording! Lots of energy. I find music hard to describe so give it a listen on your Real Player.
Top performance and a bargain.......2002-01-09
If you are looking for two of the most beautiful late Haydn symphonies in one set, this is it! No. 88 (no name) and no. 92 (Oxford) do not belong to the "Paris" or "London" groups of Haydn's symphonies, they are in between. While every movement of no. 88 is a gem, the slow movement is one of the most beautiful compositions in all of classical music. (Remember Brahms' saying, I wish the slow movement of my ninth will sound like this.) The better known no. 92 is perhaps the most dramatic and energetic of all of Haydn's symphonies. Nos. 89 - 91 are beautiful works too, but perhaps not as truly great in every movement as nos. 88 and 92. The performances are dynamic and warm at the same time, i.e. really exciting. The sound is first-rate. A bargain. I have no doubt this should be given a rating of five stars.
Wow! Where Did These Guys Come From?.......2000-04-22
This is an excellent value for the nine dollars or whatever it is, and I'd highly encourage everyone to get it. Granted, there are points where the playing sounds restrained and almost flat, such as the last movement of the 89th symphony. It's also true that Kuijken doesn't have the flair for the dramatic that Solti or Bernstein et al. would have; the music isn't necessarily given any special interpretation. But it is interpreted solidly and with a surprising amount of energy; as well, the skill level of the orchestra is outstanding. What really drew me to these recordings, however, was their earthy, "gutsy" tone; the harpsichord and drum parts to these symphonies, parts which are so integral to Haydn's work, are more prominent than usual, and this takes the music from being something refined and snobbish in a concert hall to being something everyone can identify with.

Customer Reviews:
Q's jook joint.......2007-02-05
this is my second copy of this c.d. i bought it skeptically when it first came out just because of all the diverse artists that were listed. there is not a bad, or "filler" song on this album. it is timeless.
QUINCY'S GREATEST WORK.......2007-01-13
I LOVE THIS CD SO MUCH THAT, I HAVE PURCHASED IT TWICE. THE SONGS ARE TIMELESS. MY FRIENDS OFTEN COMMENT WHEN THEY HEAR THE CD PLAYING IN MY HOME. MY FIRST CD WAS DAMAGED AFTER YEARS OF USE, SO I HAD TO PURCHASE IT A SECOND TIME, AND IT IS MONEY WELL SPENT. THIS IS A VALUED ADDITION TO MY MUSIC COLLECTION.
Jook Joint Still Jumps!.......2006-11-10
Reworked oldies have added vigor and zip. Quincy is truly a giver! Tones and melodies are racked with subtle and beautiful overlays. Album is still lovely in 2006!
