Description: | Jacqueline du Pré was recognised during her brief prime as one of the supreme cellists of the 20th century, with an intense commitment and a well-honed technical mastery to back up her heaven-sent talents. She seemed to inhabit every piece she played and the public responded joyfully to her interpretations of such concertos as the Elgar and the Schumann, as well as the sonatas of Beethoven, Brahms, Franck et al. She was also at the centre of an extraordinary group of young friends who set the classical musical agenda for the 1960s. The way her career was snatched away from her by a remorseless illness, leading to her early death, has inevitably cast a romantic glow over her life story. So it is salutary to visit or revisit this treasury of her recordings ?? almost all of them painstakingly remastered from the original tapes, and including previously unissued performances ?? and remind ourselves just how great she was.
??I??ve been blessed with a god-given talent and it??s my privilege to share it with my friends.? The British cellist Jacqueline du Pré was just 20 years old when, in 1965, she recorded her epoch-making interpretation of the Elgar Cello Concerto with Sir John Barbirolli. The 23 CDs of Jacqueline du Pré: The Complete Warner Recordings encompass the years from 1961 to 1972, shortly before multiple sclerosis brought her performing career to a tragically premature end. The collection, entirely newly remastered from the original tapes, includes a previously unreleased recording of Brahms?? Clarinet Trio with Gervase de Peyer and Daniel Barenboim, and a new edit of du Pré??s collaboration with Sir Adrian Boult in Strauss??s poignant Don Quixote.
