    About this album

    Switched-On Bach II extends Walter Carlos’s groundbreaking Bach-on-synth project with greater breadth and confidence. Released in 1973, the album applies Moog synthesiser textures to baroque works by Johann Sebastian Bach, turning contrapuntal detail into something vivid, precise and unexpectedly expressive. Following the huge success of Switched-On Bach, this sequel helped confirm that electronic instruments could handle classical repertoire with real authority, not novelty alone. Carlos’s meticulous programming and layered arrangements bring new colour to familiar pieces such as the Two-Part Inventions and Sheep May Safely Graze, making the record a significant bridge between classical tradition and early electronic music.
