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.
