Music Reviews of Switched-On BachMusic Review: Best Classical Music ever ! Rating: 5 Stars
I have this on vinyl, and it was produced by Walter Carlos, before he became Wendy Carlos.
Very crisp, very clear. Meant to be played loud ! The digital version is better than the original analog/vinyl. The extra track in which Wendy explains the recording process is a great bonus.
Music Review: Switched-On Bach Rating: 5 Stars
Bach had a genius for polyphonic art as expressed in music. Hear his gift performed on the moog...the early synthesizer of the 60s...done tastefully and skillfully by Wendy Carlos. An eye opener in its time, yet still in demand some 40 years later. Why is that? Yes, questions...
Music Review: Excellent Rating: 5 Stars
This was purchased as a Christmas present for my Mom, who has an old vinyl of this album. She absolutely loved the cd (because now she can listen to it in the car). If you owned this album on record and you're nostalgic at all, the cd is an awesome purchase.
Music Review: Switched it on and can't switch it off! Rating: 4 Stars
I bought this CD based upon my memory of the original LP. While some of the tracks are bright and can be harsh, this is a great and powerful rendering of Bach. I'm always left with the impression that Bach would have loved to hear this. You will too.
Music Review: The Granddaddy of all Electronic Music Rating: 5 Stars
This is where it all began: Wendy Carlos, Bach, and the Moog Synthesizer.
Includes a bonus track narrated by Wendy. From here, Carlos went on to do the soundtrack for "A Clockwork Orange" and other works. Sheer genius!
