"Wendy Carlos is the original synth," her logo proclaims. It's a crown she rightfully claims as creator of Switched-On Bach and three other revolutionary albums of baroque interpretations played on the Moog Synthesizer. Released in 1968, Switched-On Bach quickly became among the best-selling classical albums of all time. Carlos proved that electronic music was not merely blips and bloops. With the help of Robert Moog and producer Rachel Elkind, she created real music with a fresh sound.
This boxed set contains the original S-OB recording, plus The Well-Tempered Synthesizer (which includes selections by Monteverdi, Scarlatti, Handel, and Bach), Switched-On Bach II, and finally, from 1979, Switched-On Brandenburgs. Over the years, the albums were released in different formats but never remastered for optimal sound quality -- until now. Carlos recently regained rights to these albums, and she spent months of painstaking restoration (including rebuilding the original tape recorders) to take advantage of the dynamic range available on CD. The result is simply breathtaking. The sounds seem to spring from the speakers. Here we are, some 30 years later, and these recordings still sound revolutionary.
As novel as the sounds are, Carlos's interpretations are also genuinely bright and lyrical, especially considering the tedious process with which she created and layered the sounds. Garbed in Moog electronica, Bach's genius shines as brilliantly as ever. Carlos sets the lively pieces dancing and imbues the slower movements with nobility.
Two booklets are special features of this box set. The first gathers together the entertaining liner notes from the original albums, while the second 142-page illustrated book delves into the music's history, the inner workings of the Moog units and keyboards, the studio setup, and key participants in the projects. Two tracks offer narration by Carlos and musical examples of the composing process. The fourth CD contains an Enhanced CD feature with high-resolution photographs, virtual wendycarlos.com website, and a demo of an analog synthesizer. This definitive edition illuminates an important chapter in the history of music -- and best of all, it sounds better than ever.
