I'll second that!

Theo,

I think that you are thinking of Walter/Wendy Carlos and his/her Moog'd version
of various classical pieces. Tomita did that route, too...

PDQ Bach was more of a send-up of classical music, performed on more-or-less
period instrumentation.




Uh, I don't think Tomita was doing humorous takes on classical music,
like P.D.Q. Bach was.  I used to have most of Tomita's albums - some
of them were pretty cool.  Of course, they probably sound a bit like
electronic beeps and squeaks when you compare with the sounds synths
can make these days.
