''The Well-Tempered Synthesizer'' is a 1969 album released by Wendy Carlos following her groundbreaking ''Switched On Bach'' in the previous year. The album consists of a selection of pieces by Monteverdi, Domenico Scarlatti, and Handel as well as Johann Sebastian Bach whose music was exclusively featured on the first album. The title of ''The Well-Tempered Synthesizer'' is a play on Bach's own collection of pieces entitled ''The Well-Tempered Clavier''. All selections were performed on a Moog modular synthesizer system. Like ''Switched On Bach'', ''The Well-Tempered Synthesizer'' was recorded on an 8 track Ampex tape recorder using numerous takes and overdubs. This was long before the days of MIDI Music sequencer and recording the album was by all accounts a laborious process. About Carlos's rendition of ''Brandenburg_Concerto#Brandenburg_Concerto_.234_in_G_major'', renowned Canadian concert pianist Glenn Gould had the following to say: :''Carlos's realization of the Fourth Brandenburg Concerto is, to put it bluntly, the finest performance of any of the Brandenburgs live, canned, or intuited I've ever heard.''
