Rosalyn Tureck (December 14, 1913 - July 17, 2003) was an American pianist and harpsichordist who was particularly associated with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. However, she had a wide-ranging repertoire that included works by composers including Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms and Frédéric Chopin, as well as more modern composers such as David Diamond, Luigi Dallapiccola and William Schuman. Diamond's Piano Sonata No. 1 was inspired by Tureck's playing. In this Camera Three Television Broadcast of December 17, 1961, you will see Rosalyn Tureck's first appearance on American Television J. S. Bach: Partita No. 1 in B-Flat Major, BWV 825, Gigue: 0:00 - On Harpsichord 10:25 - On Piano J. S. Bach: Prelude and Fugue No. 3 in C-Sharp Major, BWV 848 - Well-Tempered Clavier Book. 1 (on Harpsichord): 5:17 - Prelude 6:31 - Fugue J. S. Bach: Italian Concerto in F Major, BWV 971 (on Piano): 12:41 - 1st Movement (Allegro) 16:51 - 2nd Movement (Andante) 22:09 - 3rd Movement (Presto)
Amazing, and thank god we are able to preserve these performances. Remember when American television had programs like this in prime time. NBC had a weekly opera. Now, even PBS has pure slop.
Well, who needs television when there is this wonderful new thing called the internet? ;) Mainstream television has become the propaganda/mass mind-control instrument that George Orwell has tried to warn us for in his final book 1984, thanks to the CIA (Operation Mockingbird) and the corporate media giants with their destructive globalist agenda. Sadly, facilitating a worldwide cultural revolution is part of the media's mission, so we won't be seeing a lot of classical music on the television in the future, because traditional forms of art will no longer be promoted (or maybe even allowed), and traditional Western-oriented 'conservative' artists will be marginalized more and more, even if they have a huge fanbase. Just look what happened to Yundi Li, who is arguably the best Chopin player China has ever had. He is too European/Western and too conservative in the eyes of the CCP, so they sent him too prison, while they continue to pay concert managers all over the world to book their propaganda puppet Lang Lang for concerts in the most prestigious concert halls on earth, and continue to sponsor reviews, articles and interviews featuring Lang Lang wherever he goes. It is frightning! I think we shouldn't take videos like this one with the brilliant Tureck for granted. Make sure you download all your favorite RUclips videos to your local computer, because eventually they will be coming for our cultural heritage on this platform as well. All they need is one big purge and nobody will ever hear from Rosalyn Tureck again. Anyway, I'm very happy with this video. Rosalyn Tureck was amazing in every way!
There's a wonderful William F. Buckley episode with Rosalyn Tureck. Buckley was a devoted harpiscord player but only performed publicly once. Needless to say, he didn't begin to approach her virtuosity but he loved the music. That broadcast was all about music, no politics. I love the music, but my performing highlight was as the Little Drummer Boy at our school Christmas play in 1963. We were practicing the day the assassination of John Kennedy was announced over the PA. The show did go on and my flubs during practice were overcome on performance night. That Christmas was somber but beautiful in its way. Music is there for us in many ways, some surprising, some a blessing.
The only word is: _Masterful._ This is a great craftsperson at the peak of her powers. Her confidence lets her focus utterly on the performance - there's no self doubt or anxiety at all, to distract her. And man, get a load of her _power!_ I wouldn't want her as my masseuse...
Rosalyn Tureck is a great keyboard artist whom I have listened to for decades on LPs and CDs but I was unaware of the video recordings she made; marvelous to see and hear her! She was one of the best of all Bach interpreters and her recordings are still sublime. Thanks for posting this.
In what sense are they sublime? I mean is it in general, or compared to others? I ask this as someone who isn't aware of many famous performers of Bach pieces at the same time as her, for example. How could one tell it is the musician and not the composer, assuming the pianist reproduces it accurately?
Quel plaisir de voir et surtout d'entendre cette merveilleuse artiste parler du grand J.S. Bach et l'interpréter! Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique partage!
Wow wow wow Thomas. Just watched it from start to finish and I’m bowled over! I’d heard a tiny bit of her before and I knew she was a big inspiration for Glenn Gould. She’s was a woman way ahead of her time. I absolutely loved how she is so completely and utterly convincing, truthful and committed to her interpretations and that she’s playing Bach with so much passion. The articulation and her voicing....wow. The gigue from the partita I played as a short a while ago...you might want to see it. I played the Italian concerto a lot in concerts in my teens so it brought back a lot of memories.....I might have to re visit it! I loved the programme....and wow didn’t she talk well!!! Thank you my friend 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵💗💗
I'm glad you enjoyed Louise! I watched your video and love the way you played! Also, she was definitely a very sophisticated and knowledgeable Pianist and Harpsichordist, the way she spoke toward the music was fabulous! She played the first Mvt. Of the Italian Concerto very interestingly starting with the broken chords, that's what was unique about her style. I have more Television Broadcasts of her and interviews with Glenn Gould which I will hopefully be uploading soon. Thomas🎶🎶🎹🙏
@@musicofthepast8539 yes I loved her broken chords in the opening of the first movement. I’ll look forward to more. You’ve found me another favourite. And I love love love Glenn Gould!! Happy viewing ahead 😂and thank you 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Historic recording. It’s great to have these records of the “old school” approach to interpretation and performance. The understanding and approach to Music is very dynamic and changes with time. Since there is not one correct approach, we are able to learn and appreciate Music from many perspectives. So many Master Composers have opened vistas to many very different sound worlds. Music is perhaps the “greatest” of the great escapes we humans can enjoy and profit from.
Tureck was about as amazing as Landowska, whom I think was her idol. I saw her give a recital and she combined glamour, feats of memory, and virtuosity to create a memorable experience.
It was the 1950s Tureck recordings of Bach which turned me into a Bach fanatic. I was fortunate enough to hear her in London playing the complete 48 preludes and fugues and also the Goldbergs. Although I love to listen to Gould, I prefer Tureck's recordings to Gould's simply because of the amazing way she colours each line, the way she uses light and shade, the variety of touch and her contrapuntal playing always clear. As a pianist I have studied her 3 part Bach course. Yes, I am a huge fan. Always interesting to hear and see these clips of her playing and talking. A great musician. Thank you for posting
This is absolutely stunning, and beautiful! As a predisessor on 'comments' mentions, her interpretations of J.S. Bach are simply amazing! She was also a scholar of accurate rendition of his work- prior to the existence of proper piano. Amazing 🤩!
Love seeing and hearing this! I especially enjoy the Italian Concerto and her use of arpeggios, which has not been commonly done in our time. The piano is capable of bringing out so much in this music and she surely does it. Second movement of the concerto is intoxicating.
I'm pleased that you enjoyed! Rosalyn Tureck was definitely a great at the Piano and Harpsichord having an interesting style as you can hear from her version of the Bach Italian Concerto, also being an inspiration to many including the great Glenn Gould. More soon, Thomas🎶🎶🎹🙏
This is an amazing performance + presentation by Rosalyn Tureck! I wish JFK would have invited her to the White House for a concert in the early 1960s. Rosalyn Tureck did play in the White House though, but that was much later when she was already in her 70s. On March 18, 1986, she played during a state diner hosted by president Reagan. I really hope her performance was recorded and has been made available to the public through the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Maybe I should check the RR archives to see if they have it. It would be interesting to know what piece/pieces she played at the White House.
Just amazing! How she plays piano, imitating clavichord through all the piece in color and strength of touch. A complete discovery for me. I admire Gould for decades and now I find her, just the same level of understanding Bach and a bit different. Thank you for posting. And effect is completely the same, if she plays piano or harpsichord, as music is beyond the choice of the instrument.
Not questioning her expertise and dedication to the music she so obviously loved, her playing shoves it down your throat. I see her with a whip and thigh-high, goose-stepping boots cracking down the keys, showing you how one wields the music of Bach into submission. Not playing one loves but rather one marches to.
For me it's impossible to make the performer accountable to contemporary style trends. The way we want to hear baroque music has changed a lot in the last few decades. On top of that, recording technology has advanced much since the days of this recording. We are no doubt missing many subtleties that you would have heard in the room.
Although coming from the authentic-historical approach, I admire Rosalyn Tureck for her great musicality, interpretation, performance and whole personality. She was a great musician, an icon. Thanks a lot for this unique upload,
@@TB-us7el then why are there hundreds of other recordings from this time period and much earlier that sound so much better. She is no comparison to Hoffman, Cortot, Harold Samuel, George Copland, Gieseking, nor the plethora of other great pianists from the period.
@@johnrakthai That's your opinion and many of those recordings are limited (in clarity) more than distorted, this is obviously and audibly distorted. She has produced some excellent music, but I will agree that her output is variable.
This video would be 60 years old by December 17, 2021. Which is also the date for me to show other people this lesser known relic of old school solo pianist.
The most beautiful lady ever. Her beauty emanates from every pores of her skin. And,by the way, she plays like a goddess. Next life I will propose to her......
I worked for her at UCSD in 1967, recording her concerts, preparing her bench, took a Bach class from her. She was pretty condescending to Me as her lackey. She was quite talented but no fun to work for.
I just listened to her interview on Firing Line with William F Buckley. She was extremely condescending to all the other participants. It amounted to a huge bore as she pontificated as the high priestess of Bach. No one disputes her dedication and musical work ethic but the I’m an expert attitude was grating.
I doubt the second movement of the Italian Concerto has ever been played that beautifully since. She was one of a kind. Say what you will about this or that musical choice, she was a great artist.
She was a great artist! I love many different interpretations of the Italian Concerto, but I cannot choose which I like best because they're simply all unique. We can only try our best convey how Bach wanted this to be played.
They should provide us with a count of the number of notes. But of course, it's not just a question of the NUMBER of notes; getting them in the right order is just as important...

Never heard any Tureck recording that was really worth writing home about. This one won't change my opinion. Since she's always hailed as "the female Gould before Gould was born", let's compare: her articulation is way more stiff and less subtle than his, her dynamics are monotonous (what's with the continuous banging throughout the last movement of the "Italian concerto"?) and there's a weird mixture of modernism and most clicheed romanticism in her overall conception of Bach that I don't find appealing but appalling. Sorry, not for me (yet again), Rosalyn!
Also, she plays many pieces far too fast. She allows no time for emotional phrasing, or even for the sounds to reach the listener's ears without sounding like a cacophony. Experts aside, be not afraid of saying the obvious.
I see your point about her articulation, but this recording is rather distorted, so doesn't help. I find her 'A Bach Recital' LP excellent. It's still a little romantic, but I like some romance with my Bach, so... you can check it out, it's on YT. There are times she plays fantastically, in my opinion, and other occasions that leaves me cold.
I don’t like her playing on the first piece, especially how she plays the left hand motif crossing the right hand. It’s so choppy and unmusical, no subtlety at all. I dk how the rest of it went, bc of the way she started out....why would I list to more??

Ohhhh shiiiiiiiit! Unbelievable!
“Rozzie T. On The Double Keyboard Harpsichord”
Is this an iron-framed harpsichord, such as the Pleyel instruments that Landdowska performed on ?
Well, the third movement is not Presto...?
Beautiful playing. I do find it odd that she has what appears to be a European accent - she was born in Chicago. Was this an affectation?
It was an accent many upper class Americans spoke in at the time, called mid-Atlantic. It did emulate, in part, English RP accents.

John Stag who commented Polish descent. Polish or Russian Jewish, I think.
There were enough antique harpsichords available. Why didn't they just copy them in stead of creating sth weird that sounded like a 1980s synthesiser?
I find this technically accurate, but fail to connect.
I hope this lady didn't stand model for Ingmar Bergmans autumn sonata...
Back when Steinway had no sons.
L'intelligence artificielle devrait pouvoir permettre une restauration sonore que cette performance mérite.
Polish descent I think.
Good job your neighbours didn't have a harpsichord.
I know now from whom Lurch got his technique.
I got it that she surely influenced Glenn Gould.
Where did you get that?
According to Wikipedia Gould named her as his only influence.
you have TWO manuals. Why go through all the hand convolutions when you could simply play one hand on each manual? Beats me!
Didn't she and Wanda have a 'thing' back in the 40's?
