Wendy Carlos is a well-known name (mostly for the Clockwork Orange soundtrack I think), but her recordings are not as accessible as they ought to be. That is, there are no (legal) digital downloads or streaming options for her oeuvre, and the CD's and records have been out of print for years.

I only recently discovered Switched-On Bach (and the other three albums that followed: Switched-On Bach II, The Well-Tempered Synthesizer, and Switched-On Brandenburgs), and you are right; these are really interesting performances of such well-known classical works. Worth exploring!

And for a light classical snack: she created a 'sequel' to Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals with 'Weird Al' Yankovic in 1989!
