By A Customer

This review is from: Jacqueline Du Pre and the Elgar Cello Concerto [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The single most beautiful cello concerto has had no better performance. Du Pre was the most powerful player I have ever seen. Give this zenith of Concerti a shot.

If you want to visit what Elgar had in mind, this video is as close as you can get (excepting the CD of course). Jackie is intense.

This review is from: Jacqueline Du Pre and the Elgar Cello Concerto [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Arguably THE most talented musician of the 20th century, Jacqueline du Pre is of course magical in this video from start to finish. Her interpretation of the Elgar Concerto will go unmatched for this century and more to come. The cello, an extension in her body...as she cradles it and fills it with emotion. Elgar himself might have been moved to tears by the end of the performance...his masterpiece has found its finest interpretaion. Jackie was not only talented, but beautiful and a down-to-earth person. Had she lived, she'd be the premiere cellist of the world over. HOwever, her recordins with transcend time and continue to dazzle/bewilder listeners from coast to coast. How at such a young age, any person could have such complete understanding of music. An icon.
