	Wendy Carlos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Switched-On Bach was perhaps the first album to attempt the use of synthesizers as an alternative to an orchestra.
		On its release, Switched-On Bach became the best-selling classical album of all time, and the first to go platinum.
		Some of her end title music was replaced with a song by the rock group, Journey, and the music that originally was composed for the lightcycle scene was dropped.

	No. 1929: Switched on Bach
		Switched-On Bach is still in music stores today -- still serving as a delightful introduction to electronic music, not to mention a reminder that the music of Bach transcends not only time, but instrumentation.
		Switched-On Bach became essential listening for anyone versed in electronic music.
		Released in 1968, Switched-On Bach brought Bach to life on a Moog synthesizer.

	James Wierzbicki / Wendy Carlos
		As noted, the original ''Switched-On Bach'' was made in a studio, and the material was never intended for presentation in a concert hall.
		Working with a pair of monophonic synthesizers, Carlos would have been able to perform in public any of the three two-part inventions featured on ''Switched-On Bach.'' The performances would have had to be duller than on the recording, though, for with his fingers playing the notes he could not have manipulated the synthesizers' tone controllers.
		If Carlos subsequently gave a ''Switched-On Bach'' concert anywhere else in the world, it is not mentioned in any of the articles and interviews that make up the extensive Carlos literature.

	EndlessGroove 1 - The Switched-On Switch
		Well, anyone who knows how hard Carlos and producer Elkind worked to coax the sounds for Switched-On Bach out of "Robot" Moog's infernal device, and how meticulous and exacting Carlos was in the performance, will certainly agree with me that the liner notes to Switched-Off Bach were written by an ignorant, mean-spirited musical Ludddite.
		In 1968 Walter Carlos released Switched-On Bach, a record truly unique for its time.
		For details about the actual production of Switched-On Bach, I highly recommend the magnificently annotated Switched-On Boxed Set recently released on CD on the East Side Digital label.

	Wendy Carlos, S-OB
		Switched-On Bach II has the Badinerie, Minuet, and Bourrée from Bach's orchestral suite in B minor, the Inventions in A and A minor, 'Sheep May Safely Graze,' four little pieces from Anna Magdalena's Notebook (including a heart-rending 'Bist du bei mir'), and Brandenburg 5.
		Switched-On Bach was one of the first classical albums I ever heard, and I heard it long before I had heard Bach on conventional (let alone period) instruments.
		Switched on Bach II and the Switched On Brandenbergs are less satisfying for me after hearing W-TS, but interesting none the less.

	Eye - Electronica 101 - 01.06
		Though Switched-On Boxed Set is bound to generate renewed interest in Carlos, it's clear that she wants to be recognized as a keyboardist and composer in equal measures.
		Whether you remember the oscillating fugues the first time around or are a latecomer in search of the ultimate Carlos primer, Switched-On Boxed Set (East Side Digital/Outside) should supply all the music and answers about the enigmatic musician you need.
		The last commercially successful film score she composed may have been 1982's Tron, but she's also scored several that never made it to theatres, including Roberta Hanley's Woundings.

	Wendy Carlos
		"Switched-On Bach" was treated with two attitudes and there was nothing in between the two, Carlos said.
		Thirty years ago, the classically trained Carlos finished her "Switched-On Bach" project, using the Moog synthesizer to interpret Bach's works in a popular setting.
		Inside were the master tapes to all her Columbia recordings, including the million-selling, groundbreaking "Switched-On Bach" and the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's chilling 1971 film "A Clockwork Orange."

	Pratie Place: Switched-on Bach
		Hearing of the death of Robert Moog, inventor of the synthesizer, reminded me of how addicted I was to the first synthesizer album, "Switched-on Bach." I'm not sure the synthesizer ever sounded that good again.
		The Moog's biggest break came in 1969, when musician Walter (now Wendy) Carlos had a huge, Grammy-winning hit with "Switched-on Bach," popularizing electronic music with Moog-made renditions of Johann Sebastian Bach.
		So many god-awful things have been done with synthesizers since Switched-On Bach.

	Synthmuseum.com - Magazine
		That's all Switched-On Bach was meant to be.
		And Bach composed his great works during a period that had just begun to be aware of the orchestral instruments, so the music wasn't tied closely to the orchestration.
		When listening to all the Bach pieces again, I was aware of the fluffs, wrong tempos, and the passages the Moog just couldn't quite negotiate.

		In 1992, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the release of Wendy Carlos's groundbreaking Switched-On Bach, she set out to re-interpret the same compositions, with updated technology but using Bach-era tunings, and with the wisdom that comes with an extra 25 years.

	Amazon.com: Switched-On Bach: Music: Johann Sebastian Bach,Wendy Carlos
		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.
		A Switched-On box set exists, capturing most of Carlos's baroque-gone-berserk output, but this is the disc that started it all.
		Sure I had record albums of music by Tchaikovsky & Rachmaninoff, but "Switched-On" was my real intro.

	Barnes & Noble.com Music - Classical Interview
		In 1968, Wendy Carlos patched together the unwieldy Moog synthesizer with enough panache and persistence to create SWITCHED-ON BACH, a lively and spirited electronic interpretation of the baroque master's music.
		With the restored SWITCHED-ON BOXED SET, I'll bet some fans are complaining about the lack of LP surface noise.
		I've always wanted to create the "definitive edition" of my four "Switched-On" albums, but I definitely wanted to avoid using CBS's LP-quality dubbing masters, or the clones of the clones of these dubbing masters.

	Review - Wendy Carlos: Switched-On Bach
		There's also a very strange prologue added here: an assortment of bits and pieces of synth sound experiments, narrated by Wendy Carlos, discussing how the Switched on Bach album actually came about and why some pieces were kept on and others discarded.
		This is, of course, the CD re-release of W. Carlos' Grammy-winning collection of J.S. Bach's fugues for string trio, adapted for the Moog synth by Carlos in 1968.
		Everything from the original album has been reproduced here (save the numerous pronoun/name changes in the liner notes) and remastered to crystal clarity.

		A showcase for the Moog synthesizer, Switched-On Bach interpreted the legendary composer's most renowned fugues and movements via state-of-the-art synth technology; purists were appalled, but the record captured the public's imagination and in time became the first classical album certified platinum by the RIAA.
		Carlos released her first recording, Switched-On Bach, in 1968.
		Composer Wendy Carlos spurred electronic music to new commercial heights during the late '60s, popularizing the synthesizer with the enormously successful Switched-On Bach album.

		So when we received a copy of Switched On Bach 2000 we were, to say the least, psyched.
		I was fortunate enough recently to become high bidder during an eBay auction of a sealed copy of the coolest album of all time, namely Walter Carlos' Switched On Bach (I also picked up a few copies of the equally well received follow-up The Well-Tempered Synthesizer which features the music of composers other than Mr.
		The entire work is full of colourful tones and timbres, precision tuning (featuring the Circular and Meantone variety) and enough classic Bach elegance and flourish to keep you humming to yourself for years.

		Its NO CHEESE keyboard interpretation of classic classical Bach pieces is warm and wonderful, and utterly, instrumentally potent.
