about ROSALYN TURECK …
Rosalyn Tureck, the world ‘s “high priestess of Bach”
(New York Times ), gave her first Bach recital in
Chicago at the age of fifteen. A year later she won a full
scholarship to Juilliard, where she studied with Olga
Samaroff. After graduating from Juilliard, Miss Tureck
won the National Federation of Music Clubs Competition
and the Schubert Memorial Contest, and made her
New York debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra under
Eugene Ormandy in Carnegie Hall. The following year
she received the first Town Hall Endowment Award for
a series of six all-Bach recitals, and for more than a
decade thereafter the Rosalyn Tureck annual Bach Series
was one of the major events of New York’s musical season.
During this period she also toured the United States
and Canada several times.
With her European debut in 1947, and particularly
with her first London recital in 1953, Rosalyn Tureck
began to receive the recognition and acclaim which have
s ince made her an international figure in the world of
music. Her sensational success in London led to a series
of sold-out recital and concert tours throughout Europe,
and to guest appearances at such leading music festivals
as those at Edinburgh, Venice, Glyndebourne, Scheveningen,
and Bath. In 1958 Miss Tureck returned to the
United States for her first American tour in several
years, and won standing ovations from coast to coast.
In 1961 she toured this country again with equal success,
proving once more that, in the words of the London
Times. she is truly “the greatest scholar and interpreter
of Bach in the world today.”
