If you only buy one recording of Elgar's haunting Cello Concerto, du Pre's outstanding performance has to be it.

Words can't really do justice to her interpretation. Other perfomances are just simply inferior.

The Sea Pictures aren't my cup of tea. This disc is worth the price for du Pre's performance alone.

CELLO CONCERTO
As a student I was privilleged to see a perfomance of the Elgar given by Ms. Du Pre, and over the decades scince I have owned a copy of this wonderful account of the Cello Concerto. One could try and compare recordings, for instance I treasure performances by Pini, Casals and Tortelier, to name but three!! Ultimately I find I return again and again to this particular performance, masterfully accompanied by Sir John Barbirolli. This Concerto, written when it was, is the essence of Elgar.

SEA PICTURES

Wow! Janet Baker - I cannot think of any other performance of these pieces, that start to compare with these gems! A singers singer if ever there was one. In lesser hands these songs could and have on occasion sounded trite. But with Sir John at the helm and the gloriously full range of voice that Dame Janet so eloquently uses, we are again able to hear these pieces as they should be given. One last word.....DICTION!!!!What a truly great singer she was.

I love this CD. It is one of my all-time favourites. Sir John had the capability of coaxing superb performances from both of his soloists. Baker gives what is for me the definitive version of "Sea Pictures", while du Pre
communicates the depth, beauty, and passion of Elgar's greatest instrumental work.
