IMO Switched-on Back is the benchmark. Wendy Carlos demonstrated that electronic instruments are not a novelty.

Literally wore out my copy of Switched On Bach, I listened so many times.

I LOVED “Switched On Bach”! There was also a Christmas Album which was terrific.

Dad and I listened to these on HUMONGOUS Altec-Lansing Voice-Of-The-Theater Speakers. (Each the size of a washing machine).

“Everything you wanted to hear on the Moog - but were afraid to ask for” (or something like that).
Like Switched on Bach, but includes Bolero and a great piece from Carmen.
