Switched‐On Bach

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Wendy Carlos

Switched-On Bach is an album of Johann Sebastian Bach's compositions performed and credited to Wendy Carlos, released in 1968. The recordings realise Baroque works using a Moog synthesiser, translating organ and orchestral textures into electronic timbres and marking an early, influential moment in the popularisation of synthesiser technology within classical and popular music contexts.
