plays Italian Concerto by J. S. Bach.
Rosalyn Tureck, who comes from the United States, has won international recognition as an interpreter of the music of Bach. She has given many series of Bach recitals and lectures in America; last month she made her first appearance at a Promenade Concert as the soloist in Bach's Concerto in D minor.
While still a student at the Juilliard School of Music she won both the Schubert Memorial Contest Award and the competition of the National Federation of Music Clubs. She made her debut at Carnegie Hall with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Eugene Ormandy, playing Brahms's Second Piano Concerto; and in 1947 made her first European tour. A member of the Juilliard School of Music and Teachers' College, Columbia University, she is one of America's leading teachers.
