The well-tempered Clavier
48 Preludes and Fugues BWV 846-893



"You play it your way; I play it Bach's way." Addressing the indomitable harpsichordist Wanda Landowska,
the equally indomitable Rosalyn Tureck made one of her most famous and characteristic statements. For J.S. Bach
was the composer to whom this strong-willed, demanding and fearsomely intelligent American keyboard player
dedicated her life, both as performer and scholar. Tureck's pianstyle, which (unfairly enough) was a huge influence
on the more celebrated Glenn Gould, was uncompromisingly rigorous, intelligent and full of attention to detail: she took,
for example, great care over the appropriateness of ornamentation. But what always convinces the listener is the compelling,
incandescent, almost evangelical spirit that shines through that detail. She was hailed as "the high priestess of Bach" -
and that is how she will be remembered. -www.bach-cantatas.com More

Here is playing as vivid and life-affirming as any on record, a magical interaction of scholarship and imaginative brio.
Such playing exposes the limitations of more self-consciously rarefied and erudite offerings (the alternately endearing
and infuriating, disfiguring and illuminating whims and wiles of Glenn Gould spring to mind), distilling her hard-won
insights into a musical Elysium.
