@ 5398one: No, it's not the same conductror from PDQ Bach fame. That was Professor Peter Schickele, and not only was he the conductor for PDQ Bach's music, he was also the creator. In fact, I had the pleasure of seeing him in-person three times. Once here in Aurora, IL at the Paramount Theater, once at Hemmons Auditorium in Elgin, IL, and once in Chicago where he conducted the famed Chicago Symphony Orchestra. All three concerts were most entertaining.
