Switched

Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2002

Staggering for the time, holds up well today
Switched-On Bach II (along with The Well-Tempered Synthesizer) really shows what the analogue Moog gear could do in the hands of people who knew what they were doing. The performances hold up and the arrangements make the most of the material. This is Bach, after all, ...

Switched-On Brandenburgs

Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2002

Wonderful from Beginning to End!
Concerto #3 was incredible on the original Switched-On Bach album, and remains one of the best performances in this collection. Concerto #4 is from the Well-Tempered Synth. #5 from Switched-On Bach II. I tried hard to pick up the "glitch" mentioned by the other ...

Switched-On Bach 2000

Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

Telarc, 1992

In what way inferior?
It's not inconceivable to me that someone who has spent a lifetime listening to a broad range of music could prefer Carlos's debut recording of Switched-On Bach to the collection, but from any objective viewpoint it IS indefensible. Not only has Carlos brought to bear ...

Switched on Classics: Classics With a Beat

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Madacy Records, 1995

You call this electronic? BULL!
I think I know what electronic classical music is, considering I made an album called Kulture. This does not sound electronic, if it does, it uses drums = not good. It sounds way too classical.

Switched-On Boxed Set

Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, ...

East Side Digital, 1999

A few thoughts on the SOBoxed....
I just happened upon this set of reviews on Amazon (although I had reviewed the original SOB separately years ago), and was delighted at the multitude of very favorable reviews by others. But then came the weeds amongst the fruit, namely those few reviews by people who ...

Gilbert & Sullivan - H.M.S. Pinafore / Marshall, Howerd, Jones, Opera World

Peter Marshall, Frankie Howerd

Acorn Media, 2002

Camp, Camp, Camp and we love it!
My boys (including my husband) are diehard Simpsons fans. In the famous Sidewhow Bob episode where he tries to kill Bart, Bart requests that Bob first sing the entire HMS Pinafore from Gilbert and Sullivan. My 10 year old began to sing along often enough so that I ...

Switched-On Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2001

Scary Music
I can honestly say that I've never heard another album or song in my life that transports the listener to such an alien realm. The music is so byzantine, layered, precise, fast....its a trip. I jokingly told my son that this is the music that robots listen to. Its ...
