Switched-On Bach(more) »rank: 3813by: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos
: :Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach is one of those rare novelty recordings that never gets boring. In the capable hands of Carlos, Bach's keyboard masterpieces sound like they were made for the otherworldly blurps, farts, and chimes of a Moog synthesizer. And, in a sense, they were.

The Piano Sonatas: Vol. VIII(more) »rank: 1921from: ECM Records
:Album Description:This is the eagerly awaited final instalment of AndrĂ¡s Schiff's acclaimed complete Beethoven cycle. Collectors can now finally explore the extraordinary interpretative and editorial qualities of this cycle in full.Schiff's much-admired art of musical characterisation is particularly evident in these last six sonatas that combine dramatic and symphonic grandeur with intimate beauty.
