Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite

Rosalyn Tureck was Glenn Gould’s favorite Bach interpreter. I find it hard to understand why I’m the only one who mentions her.

Jim, I don’t mean to sound like I’m criticizing anyone, it’s just that I  never see her name mentioned. Fortunately, there are a lot of good remastered mono recordings of early classical artists. And I realize that seventy year old mono recordings lack the appeal of current stereo recordings but overlooking artists like Haskil, Backhaus, Fischer, Tureck, etc… would really be a shame.
Anyway, in the early 1990’s, Steinway and Phillips remastered and rereleased recordings in a series called ‘Great Pianists of the Twentieth Century’ There is Rosalyn Tureck volume 1 and volume 2 amongst that series and they sound pretty good. Unfortunately they are out of print but with the accessibility of the internet, they could probably be found.

Andante was my favorite label but they couldn’t make it given the production costs while attracting such a limited niche market. The Orfeo d’Or label has produced remasters of some very fine concerts. I am particularly fond of the 1950’s Salzburg Festival performances that were broadcast live over Austrian radio.
