That would be "Everything You Always Wanted to Hear on the Moog*",
"semi-conducted" by Andrew M. Kasdin and Thomas Z. Shepard (and with great
cover art by Tomi Ungerer.) My parents had a copy of this, and I loved
listening to it when I was very young, 4 or 5, and it has remained one of my
favorites to this day. Unfortunately it ended up in the hands of one of my
roommate's friends who lives in New York, and he's been too flaky to send it
back. (I live in Los Angeles.)

I can't quite remember what the other pieces on the album were (there was
some of Bizet's "Carmen",) but I've heard other electronic versions of
classical music (like the stuff by Walter/Wendy Carlos and Isao Tomita) and
they don't hold a candle to Kazdin and Shepard's album.

Last year I went to a Theremin concert/Bob Moog tribute and met Bob Moog. I
told him about how much I loved that album, and he said, "Oh yeah, that's a
good one." The aforementioned Moog Cookbook also played, and they were a lot
of fun.
