About

P.D.Q. Bach: The Jekyll and Hyde Tour features the composer, musician, author and humourist Peter Schickele as well as Michèle Eaton and David Düsing performing such classic P.D.Q. repertoire as the recently-discovered Four Next-to-Last Songs for tenor profundo and piano, and the amusing String Quartet in F major, “The Moose” (commissioned by the Los Angeles-based Armadillo Quartet, who perform on this live recording).
 
The Jekyll-Hyde program also features songs and rounds by Schickele, including the notorious rock and roll settings of famous Shakespeare speeches (as heard in the composer’s solo song programmes and on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion).
 
In his well-known other role as perpetrator of the oeuvre of the now-classic P.D.Q. Bach, Schickele is acknowledged as one of the great satirists of the 20th century. According to Robert Marsh of the Chicago Sun-Times, the incarnation of fabled genius P.D.Q. Bach is “the greatest comedy-in-music act before the public today.”
