Rosalyn Tureck (1914-2003) was one of the greatest musical artists of the 20th Century. Her brilliant, dedicated performances of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach were informed by the depth of her insight. Although she performed Bach on a wide variety of keyboard instruments (clavichord, harpsichord, organ, and even the Moog Synthesizer), her trail-blazing performances of Bach on the piano were an inspiring influence on generations of pianists who followed.
