Biography
Rosalyn Tureck, born in 1914, in Chicago, was an American pianist and harpsichordist. She studied at the Juilliard School, where Leon Theremin was among her teachers, debuting at Carnegie Hall with a theremin performance. Initially influenced by Wanda Landowska's approach to Bachâs keyboard music on the harpsichord, Tureck later preferred the piano. Her career began in 1935 with a New York recital and an annual series of Bachâs complete keyboard works from 1944 onwards. She made her orchestral debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy in 1937. Tureck's recordings, including Bach: Goldberg Variations (1998), are noted as a model of objectivity. She founded the Tureck Bach Players orchestra and was the first woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic and London Philharmonia orchestras. Tureck taught at various institutions, including Juilliard and Columbia University, and authored the book Introduction to the Interpretation of Bach. She died in 2003, in New York.
