I now know why Angela Hewitt refers to Rosalyn Tureck as one the great Bach interpreters.

@tachuman I think she is the best ever

Sublime - one of her teachers, Gavin Williamson, was a dear friend many years ago. He had been a pupil of Wanda Landowska, and so bequeathed to Tureck, the deep and passionate resonance of Bach's counterpoint; something which Glenn Gould arguably mastered, although sometimes re-mastered in his own image!

It is such simple music in one way but magic in its effect on you - and she is a really sensitive player. Absolutely beautiful!

@gdellaporta Nothing against Roselyn Tureck because I feel she is a remarkable pianist, but I believe Gould is unmatched when it comes to Bach. Even Sviatoslav Richter said after he saw him perform in Moscow "I could play Bach as good as Gould, but I'd have to practice 12 hours a day." Gould would also never practice. He had several rigorous finger exercises that he invented himself that he would play through, but he would only ever study a piece of music before banging it out flawlessly.

yourforte - Tureck seems to capture Bach's voice honestly; Gould seems always to try to claim the music as his own. I love Tureck's performance here.
I agree with you can you tell me more about her and her Bach.
