Isn't intended to, and won't, replace the 1968 original for most listeners
I'm not a musician and have no formal music education, I'm just a music lover and an audiophile. So I don't really fully understand different keys and chords, let alone different tuning schemes. I've been a fan of Carlos and Switched On Bach since it first came out in 1968 when I was in 9th grade - it was my main introduction to classical music, and that version is "in my DNA". I would never know that this version has different tuning if I hadn't read about it in the notes - same as for a few other recordings that I have of baroque or other older music played on original instruments with different tuning. I just hear it and enjoy it. As others have commented, the timbres used this time around are more "tame" compared to those in the 1968 version [and REALLY obviously so in the ... I'm not a musician and have no formal music education, I'm just a music lover and an audiophile. So I don't really fully understand different keys and chords, let alone different tuning schemes.

I would never know that this version has different tuning if I hadn't read about it in the notes - same as for a few other recordings that I have of baroque or other older music played on original instruments with different tuning. I just hear it and enjoy it. As others have commented, the timbres used this time around are more "tame" compared to those in the 1968 version [and REALLY obviously so in the legitimately totally different 2nd movement in the Third Brandenburg Concerto] - the two main goals of the 1968 version were to showcase the very distinct [Moog] synthesizer sounds as well as establish its legitimacy as a musical instrument for "real" music (not just "weird" avant garde "music"). This time around, Carlos' goal was to express a more mature interpretation of the music and the greater sophistication of the 2000-era synthesizers and recording equipment, NOT to grab listeners by the neck while yelling "WAIT 'TIL YOU HEAR THIS!!". So I like it, and will play it from time to time, but I will probably always prefer the original. Regarding the Dolby Surround encoding: I tried playing it on my home theater system with the Dolby Surround mode (and my speaker placement scheme parallels Carlos' recommendation). My system is extremely high quality 5.1 with stunning sound from high-definition discrete 5.1 music sources such as SACD and DVD-Audio [neither of which existed in 2000, I believe]. My reaction to this disc in Dolby Surround mode: Meh [that is an accepted real English word now, right?]. I'll stick with plain stereo. If you've never experienced hi-rez 5.1 music on a really good system, you might enjoy it as a novelty.

Eine herbe klangliche Enttäuschung
Diese CD ist leider ein völliger Fehlkauf. Bis auf Track 9 und 12 klingen die Stücke (ungelogen) grauenhaft, mir unbegreiflich, dass TELARC einen solchen Mist produziert hat, von dieser Firma habe ich bisher nur Top-Qualität gehört, diese Aufnahmen sind wohl ein Ausrutscher. Bei dieser CD handelt es sich um Neuaufnahmen von Anfang der 90er auf zeitgemäßem Equipment (kein Moog!). Wer die Originalaufnahmen aus 1967 kennt und besitzt (ich habe sowohl die Original-LP als auch die Original-CD zum Vergleich), der meint beim Anhören dieser neuen CD einen Hörfehler zu haben, oder man meint, die Anlage sei plötzlich defekt (was aber nicht der Fall ist). Beim ersten vertrauten Stück, Track Nr. 2 (Sinfonia in D major), hat man den Eindruck, der Klang läuft durch einen (billigen) analogen Spiralhall. ... Diese CD ist leider ein völliger Fehlkauf.

Beim ersten vertrauten Stück, Track Nr. 2 (Sinfonia in D major), hat man den Eindruck, der Klang läuft durch einen (billigen) analogen Spiralhall. Dieser Grundklang wird auch bei den meisten der Folgestücke beibehalten. Der Gipfel der musikalischen Verunglimpfung auf dieser CD ist jedoch, dass in dem enthaltenen 3. Brandenburgischen Konzert der 2. Satz nicht im Original erklingt, sondern als Eigenkomposition von W. Carlos wiedergegeben wird (keine Ahnung, was das sollte). Die klangliche Kennzeichnung dieser CD als 4-D Digital Sound DDDD ist absolut unbegreiflich und kann mit der Originalaufnahme in keinster Weise mithalten. Zusätzlich zu den Originalaufnahmen aus 1967 wurde auf dieser CD noch die sehr bekannte Toccata & Fugue D-minor BWV 565 in sehr orgelähnlicher Art und Weise (ohne klangliche Überraschungen) eingespielt. Wirklich schöne und klanglich hervorragende Barock-Synthi-Klänge von W. Carlos gibt es dagegen auf der (enhanced) CD "The Well Tempered Synthesizer", die ich sehr empfehlen kann (allerdings schwer zu bekommen).

Wendy Carlos - Switched on Bach 2000
While still an excellent cd, the music is nowhere near as good as the original Swithced on Bach as played by her when she was still Walter Carlos. The music is now muted and soft, lacking in the sharp edge of the original. All said and done, though, the recording is still well worth having, just be sure you get a copy of the original as well.
