I loved the record with "Iphigenia in Brooklyn" (including and especially the Schickele 'Quodlibet' --- need to listen again, I expect to discover new jokes there).
A couple of years ago, I found at a thrift shop a bunch of PDQ Bach recordings that I hadn't heard, and grabbed them.
When I played them, the jokes didn't seem to work the way they did when I was twenty.
I was sad then about that, and sad now. I need to figure out how to recover the delight.
- cranky908canuck 3y agoFWIW, I found and played a youtube sound+score of the Quodlibet. I have not figured out if it breaks the magic or increases the understanding or even intimacy with the work. Leaning to the latter.
