In Reply to: Re: Actually, Wendy Carlos's Bach is not too bad… posted by D Harvey on April 18, 2005 at 03:26:24:
There are bonus tracks on the remasters. "Ho hum" we tend to say in regard to bonus tracks but…These tracks have Carlos talking about how she constructed her interpretations and giving examples of work in the course of construction - a fascinating insight into how she made the original discs.
There are also 2 books of notes and comments with a lot more historical info and discussion.
Even if the remasters weren't sonically better than the original CDS, I think the bonus tracks and books are more than enough on their own to justify acquiring the 4 disc set if you are interested in how performers work and the history of the early synthesiser.
