Customer Reviews of Switched-On Bach 2000
clearing up confusion I've read some confusion about Walter Carlos being the listed performer on Switched On Bach and Wendy Carlos being the performer on Switched On Bach 2000. Let me clear this up for anyone that might be confused or that won't consider the new 2000 version because of it not being Walter. They are both one in the same. In 1972, Walter Carlos underwent gender reassignment therapy. The last release to be credited to Walter Carlos was By Request (1975). The first release as Wendy was Switched-On Brandenburgs (1979). Carlos's first public appearance after her gender transition was in an interview in the May 1979 issue of Playboy magazine, a decision she would come to regret because of the unwelcome publicity it brought to her personal life. On her official site, her transition is discussed in an essay stating that she values her privacy on the subject. <

Muddy waters...
I was sorely disappointed in this "updated" recording of Bach. The music supposedly more true to the period is muddy and indistinct. I jumped for joy when the original Switched On Bach was released last year - that is the one to buy.
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 a quarter century's booming tech innovation, but also a quarter century's musical experience from a unique vantage point atop the under-examined world of classical electronica.
A well-read friend of mine and musical omnivore was given the recent Wendy Carlos re-interpretation of Clockwork Orange to replace his lost Lp of the original soundtrack. His response was nearly ballistic. The original soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange was a dear old friend that had seen him through many a tough time, and he was intimately acquainted with every edge of every sine wave on it. And he missed those particulars so sorely, it was as though he'd been reacquainted with his high school sweetheart only to find she'd undergone reassignment surgery.
I try to keep this anecdote in mind when I read an unflattering review of S-OB 2000. I play music, and I know it in the way a dentist knows tooth enamel. I am as susceptible to a cherished smile as the next guy, but I do know teeth. Beautiful teeth.
