Just make sure Il Furioso doesn't see it.

'Bedroom bliss with Beethoven'... The mind boggles.

'Bedroom bliss with Beethoven'... The mind boggles.

Indeed! I remember reading in Maynard Solomon's Beethoven that once, in the early 1790s, the young composer's fellow students went to a tavern with him and bribed a waitress to flirt with him as a joke. The joke ended when an irritated Beethoven punched her in the face.

Yes, four times. He immortalized them in the opening of his Fifth Symphony.

I'd buy all three if I could find them for cheap, and I'm serious. Ridiculousness of the entire concept has so passed beyond being terrible that I find them utterly fascinating. The idea that someone actually came up with it with straight face, and that it got realized is amazing. Would love to have them.

Just watched an episode of the British The Peter Serafinowicz Show.There is a spoof commercial there, for a CD called 'Sexual Classics', from the 'horniest composers', like Butthoven, Depussy, Shaftakovich, Vulvaldi and Tchaicocksky...

That one really cracked me up. 

[KevinP]

Is there music on those CDs?  And what's with the parental advisory?   

No idea to either question, sorry.

Well put. I probably wouldn't buy them, but I agree with what you're saying.

I don't know if I'd call that one 'bad,' though I certainly wouldn't call it good. It's clever and risk-taking enough that even though it ultimately doesn't work, it deserves a nod.

...and if it was OK for Man Ray

My favorite of these was from someone here (can't remember who): "Fuckin'er to Bruckner" 

I'm pretty sure that was Sarge...

Put on Celibidache and it becomes tantric.

[Valentino]

 

You're crackin' me up, folks.

Was searching for recordings by Alexis Weissenberg (honest) when I saw this. And thought of this thread, its last pages in particular, for obvious reasons. It contains Karajan, Stokowski and others, apparently. Dirty old men, clearly...

I like the crabs.

Roots? In your hair, Paavo? Because it's about to fall out. You suave motha-fu***.

Can't stand this guy's pose either.... that vain look in his face.
