Listen to P.D.Q. Bach at Carnegie Hall:  The Hearer’s Digest Condensed Version.  This Condensed Version gives you the intangible essence of the original recording in one small, easy-to-swallow capsule summary. The hyper folks at Hearer’s Digest have created this sample by slicing, dicing, and splicing, until it somewhat resembles excerpts of the original recording that are “severely truncated, but shorter.”

This Hearer’s Digest Condensed Version is made of excerpts from the following:  “Tarragon of virtue is full”, “Bide thy thyme”, “To curry favor, favor curry”, “Summer is a cumin seed”, and “Open sesame seeds” from “The Seasonings”—spoken introduction—IV.  Andante–Allegro and III.  Minuet from “Unbegun” Symphony—spoken introduction—Minaret and Trio, Allegro moulto, and Presto Changio from Pervertimento for Bagpipes, Bicycle and Balloons—spoken information from “The Seasonings”.
