Music reviews of Switched-On Bach
Music Review: Benjamin Folkman actually PLAYED it, Carlos hogs the credit.
Rating: 5 Stars
"I was just kid when it came out..." I had this on cassette and loved it, was the first time I was EXCITED about classical music. The (by now) "vintage" Moog synthesizer has a wonderful sound, pleasing to the ears. Walter/Wendy Carlos hogs all the credit, but Benjamin Folkman actually did the PLAYING and is unfairly overlooked.
Description of Switched-On Bach
Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach is one of those rare novelty recordings that never gets boring. In the capable hands of Carlos, Bach's keyboard masterpieces sound like they were made for the otherworldly blurps, farts, and chimes of a Moog synthesizer. And, in a sense, they were. Bach's inventive music doesn't lose any of it's contrapuntal punch in these complicated arrangements and, novelties aside, the playing is great on this Grammy Award-winning classic. Whether performing Bach's "Two-Part Inventions," "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," or "Wachet Auf," Carlos offers one-of-a-kind interpretations, her synthesizers still sounding as otherworldly as they did in 1968. This is one of those weird and wonderful classical releases that anyone--classical scholar or pop enthusiast--can enjoy. A Switched-On box set exists, capturing most of Carlos's baroque-gone-berserk output, but this is the disc that started it all. In a word, fun. --Jason VerlindeGeneral CDs
