Je pense, donc je suis.

Rosalyn Tureckという演奏家のバッハ平均律の全集です。1952～1953年に録音されたモノラル盤ですが、非常に良い演奏です。4枚組で値段が安いのが、驚きです。独membranレーベルのへのリンクです。⇒ Rosalyn Tureck - Das wohltemperierte Klavier (The Well-Tempered Clavier)

さらにRosalyn TureckについてはWikipedia英語版から引用します。

Rosalyn Tureck (December 14, 1914 – July 17, 2003) was an American pianist and harpsichordist who was particularly associated with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. She was born in Chicago, Illinois.

Tureck did not play only Bach, but had a wide-ranging repertoire which included works by composers including Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, and Frédéric Chopin, as well as more modern composers such as David Diamond, Luigi Dallapiccola, and William Schuman. Diamond's Piano Sonata No. 1 was inspired by Tureck's playing.

バッハの演奏家として知られていますが、広いレパートリーを持っていました。

Tureck studied at the Juilliard School of music, where one of her teachers was Leon Theremin. Later in her career, Tureck joined the faculty at the Juilliard School. She made her debut at Carnegie Hall playing the theremin, an electronic instrument.

なんとテルミンの演奏までしていたのですね。

For a while she followed Wanda Landowska in playing Bach's keyboard music on a harpsichord, but later returned to playing the piano. In 1970, Tureck performed in Boston for the Peabody Mason Concert series.^[1] She was an honorary fellow of St Hilda's College, Oxford.

In a CBC radio special on Glenn Gould^[2][3], the host told Tureck that Gould cited her as his "only" influence. She responded by saying she knew that she was an influence, and that it was very kind of him to say so.

グールドにも影響を与えた、バッハの演奏家だったのですね。

She died in New York in 2003 at age 89. Her scores and recordings were given to the Music Division and the Rodgers & Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound, both divisions of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.

録音状態も良いと思いますし、数ある平均律の中でも名盤に挙げられるのではないでしょうか。なお、Tureckはその後、BBCで平均律のステレオ録音をおこなっています。
