Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - again Carlos ... again perfect ..
and you get to hear Wendy (Walter) at the end talk about the music .. wonderful, and she sounds like the Rabbit from whinny the pooh



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic music for relaxation
I loved listening to this when I was growing up. I was very glad to find it on CD. A very nice CD to listen to to relax.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Kudo's for Wendy Carlos
Wendy Carlos does an excellent job of updating all of the Classical pieces on this CD, as well as on all of her other CDs. I originally had this on Open Reel Tape, and am really happy that she has ported it over to the CD format! All of the selections on this CD can only be termed as "stirring" and it is enjoyable to hear each time it is played.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Difficulty in placing an order
Because I had difficulty navigating through the purchase process, I ended up receivibg two and I only wanted one. I gave one away. You need to review the purchase process and have a "done" or something to indicate that Amazon has received the purchase request and will act upon it. Or else I will find someone else with whom to do business!!!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - interesting concept, skillful interpretation, but sounds very dated now
As a performance, the music here is fantastic, and considering the challenges of monophonic sythesizers it is very impressively and skillfully performed. That said, if like me you were born after electronic music became commonplace, this will sound incredibly dated. The problem is that the sound programming abilities of the first moogs were limited, so the sounds are not very fitting to the music, creating a slightly comical kitschy mock-futuristic effect. Part of this effect is the womp womp womp beep beep beep sounds that now sound corny. While interesting, it sounds very anachronistic and less evocative than real instruments. I think I'll go back to orchestral performances of classical music. I'll keep this in case I ever want to make a campy future film spoof. Wow, I sure said "sound " a lot. Well, this really is all about the sounds.
