Did she record a complete WTC again? I'm not aware of any other WTC by Tureck. But, since she recently recorded the Goldberg Variations, there's always the hope she'll go back to the studio for the WTC. As far as who plays in Trueck's style, there's not any good answer for that. Her style is her own, and I know of nobody else who sounds like her. But, if an answer is needed, I'd go with Nikolayeva - she is slow paced, but not as slow as Tureck, and she is very good, but nowhere as good as Tureck. Nikoilayeva's WTC is on a label called "MK"; that's short for something but I don't remember what. There's probably at least a 50-50 chance it's no longer in print. I'd like to make a suggestion. I uunderstand the desire to have a great stereo recording of Tureck or a Tureck sound-alike. But I don't think that's going to happen. Instead, why not try a very different type of WTC, one that could *add* to the insights and rewards you've already received from the Tureck set. Assuming you want a version with excellent sound to offset that sound that Tureck suffers, check out the Hewitt set on Hyperion. She is relatively mainstream, and her interpretations are usually quite different from Tureck's. Her set has received much praise, and I rated it very well in the piano survey I did a couple of months ago. Overall, most of the great WTC's don't have wonderful sound: Richter, Feinberg, Gulda, and Horszowski. My mouth is watering just thinking about these great versions and many others as well. A dedicated, true-blue, and well financed WTC lover has to have them all; I know of no other way to get the best of Bach unless I could play them superbly on my own. But I've been working on the C major from Book I for years now, and I still stink. I use the Jarrett approach, seamless and dreamy. Yet, I sound like Gould on valium. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
