Professor Schickele is at it again, with the latest set of collected works
by P.D.Q. Bach. This album contains three works: A Little Nightmare Music,
(S. 13) which is an opera in one act in which P.D.Q. is the butler on the
night that Mozard died, Octoot (S. 8) for wind instruments, and the Royal
Firewater Musick (S. 1/5). All works are done by Schickele conducting the
New York Pick-Up Ensemble.
This is very much an average album. He doesn't break new ground, but
rehashes many of the things done on previous albums (Octoot is big on
double reeds without instruments, for example). If you like P.D.Q. Bach,
you probably want this for your collection, but there are much better
albums out there.

It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.
