In this cd we have two masters at work. Jacqueline du Pre and Sergiu Celibidache provide one of the greatest performances of Dvorak's cello concerto. We find the meeting of two oustanding musical minds and souls. The tempos are deliberate but the musical pulse is never lost. The phrasing is just superb, the signal of true greatness. Du Pre and Celibidache play with such sensitivity, depth and abandon that you, the listener, feel that the music is not coming from outside you but it is drawn out of you in a communal act of re-creation. It is a deeply moving and felt performance.

I did not come to du Pre's playing aware of her MS but through an old local library copy of her legendary Elgar Cello Concerto recording with Barbirolli when I was 18. I played it over and over . Sadly, when I went looking for any more of her records in the mid 80s I was surprised to find them deleted.
Ironically it was her tragically early death in 1987 and the reshowing of Christopher Nupen's film that seemed at last to spur on CD re-releases of other repertoire and I gratefully snapped them up.
This newly released live recording of the Dvorak concerto is daringly slow but the playing is wonderful and Celi's accompaniment deeply felt . It is a great improvement on her studio recording . The Saint Saens is thrilling.
So if you want to know more about her and her stunning interpretations - snap this up, buy a copy of Elizabeth Wilson's biography , put a few copies of the poisonous book by her sister and brother and " Hilary and Jackie" on the fire and listen to why her playing was just so special

Jacqueline du Pre was undoubtibly one of the finest 'cellists of the twenty-first century. When you listen to one of her recordings, it is immpossible not to become entranced as you hear the most intimate feelings of another human being. When she performed it was as though she was talking directly with our souls. This recording of the Dvorak alows us to hear her at her best, singing like a true angel.
