My Take
Rosalyn Tureck is the kind of musician I respect deeply even from a distance. She built her name as the Bach interpreter, so closely tied to his keyboard works that people called her the High Priestess of Bach. What I admire is that she didn't stop at one composer's surface; her repertoire reached into Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, and even modern voices like Dallapiccola and Schuman. Moving between piano and harpsichord on the same composer's music takes real scholarly conviction, not just technique. She wasn't only a performer but an educator and musicologist too, which tells me she cared about the why behind the notes, not only the playing.
