Tureck: Bach for Keyboard
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, January 20, 2019 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
This week we put the spotlight on Rosalyn Tureck, the late Bach scholar and keyboardist. Tureck was born in Chicago in 1914 and lived until 2003. Trained at Juilliard, she gradually became associated with the music of J.S. Bach through her performances and scholarship. In addition to being an international concert pianist, she held teaching positions at Juilliard, Columbia and Oxford. None other than Glenn Gould, perhaps the most famous Bach interpreter of the 20th century, spoke highly of her gifts. We’ll sample some of her recordings from the period 1967-81 that are found on the Sony label 2-CD set called Bach: The Keyboard Album.
