CD Rel Date: 1985-05-04
In January 2015, Moog Music, the 60-year-old analogue synthesizer company, announced that for the first time in more than 30 years, it would once again build the large format modular synthesizer first introduced by its founder and inventor, Dr. Robert Moog in 1964. It also marks the 10th anniversary of Dr. Moog s passing. To mark these events, Sony Classical is releasing Bach to Moog, a brand-new album showcasing the newly re-issued Moog System 55 Modular Synthesizer featuring the works of Johann Sebastian Bach in a compelling and contemporary way. This is the first album to be recorded utilizing this new Moog modular system which integrates the synthesizer into the orchestra as a solo instrument and also as a processor of other instruments.
