In this vintage radio show, originally broadcast on CBC AM in November 1968, the brilliant Glenn Gould offers his take on the Moog synthesizer and Switched On Bach. Gould raves about the album, which was released a month earlier in October 1968, calling it ‘the record of the decade’ and ‘one of the great feats in keyboard performance’.

Gould interweaves interviews with synthesist and composer Wendy Carlos and others, discussing the album, the synthesizer, and its implications for music. This engaging program provides a fascinating insight into the world of music technology and its evolution.
