Prokofiev saves the day.......2005-01-28

"Weird Al" revels in the childlike (and, in a couple of spots, childish) side of his sense of humor in his reworking of Peter and the Wolf. It's definitely aimed at a younger audience, but not too young--there are a couple of "gross-out" jokes in the piece. At the same time, there's humor aimed at adults, so the result is sort of a Jay Ward-esque view of Prokofiev's musical story--a "Fractured Fairy Tale" for synth and accordion. Yankovic pours all his energy into his narration, and Wendy Carlos has fun re-working the music for her machine(s). The result may not be something you'd play as often as either person's solo albums, but definitely worth having for repeated plays anyway.

The other work on the disc, Carnival of the Animals Part Two, is not as interesting. Yankovic gets into the same spirit as the verses Ogden Nash wrote for the original Carnival, but Carlos' music is dull, with no great melodies nor interesting sounds from the synths.

Still, this disc is definitely a keeper for the Peter and the Wolf portion.

Not exactly Weird Al's finest hour..........2005-01-13

In an effort to complete my `Weird Al' sound recordings collection a few years back, I decided to check out one of his lesser-known contributions, a musical reading of `Peter and the Wolf'. Unfortunately, I didn't really find this work all that amusing; he dove into telling the story with gusto and maintains a consistently goofy delivery throughout, but it just didn't generate the kinds of laughs (or smiles for that matter) from me like many of his song parodies have. I found the funniest & most amusing thing about this recording to be the fact that Wendy Carlos, the performer of the tale's background music, used to be a man!

But, if you're one of those dyed-in-the-wool "close personal friends of Al" who's just gotta have it all-- including the (ugh) `UHF' movie-- I guess there's nothin' I can do to stop ya...

`Late!
