The Definitive Biography of P.D.Q. Bach:  (HighBridge Audio CD-49923 CS-48278):  Printed books are all well and good, but, let’s face it, it’s a whole lot easier to let somebody else do the reading.  P.D.Q. Bach was probably the most passive composer who ever allegedly lived, so the less effort you put into learning about him, the more you carry on his ideals.  Abridged;  approximately 75 minutes on 1 compact disk or tape.

Performers

• Professor Peter Schickele, author and reader
