Product Description
Jacqueline du Pré's extraordinary career was cut cruelly short by illness in 1973 when she was only 28 years old. When she died 14 years later, she remained as vibrant a figure in the public mind as she had been at the pinnacle of her career. Award winning film-maker Christopher Nupen succeeded in capturing the spirit of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century in his classic documentary (restored and digitally re-mastered for DVD), Jacqueline du Pré and the Elgar Cello Concerto. This DVD portrait also offers Nupen's film The Ghost, featuring a performance of Beethoven's Piano Trio No. 5.

Synopsis
A restored version of the Christopher Nupen film 'Jacqueline Du Pre And The Elgar Cello Concerto', plus the Nupen film 'The Ghost'. Performances include: Elgar - 'Cello Concerto In E Minor, Op 85', Beethoven - 'Piano Trio No. 5 In D Major, Op 70, No. 1'.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN ABSOLUTE MUST!, 7 Sep 2004
This DVD is a masterpiece in itself. Not only it enchants the viewer with the beauty and the unequaled talent of one of the most astounding cellists the XXth Century has had the privilege to witness, but it is filmed with an incredible talent by the renouned filmmaker Christopher Nupen. A long awaited DVD by all Jackie admirers and music lovers in general, it has finally come to light. Thank you for producing this hymn to music and to the joy of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jolly good show, 12 Jan 2005
An excellent package. I particularly enjoyed the fact the DVD combines both documentary and performance.

The footage is, of course, dated but Jacqueline Du Pre's energy shines through, reflecting a love of both life and music that is, frankly, remarkable. There's nothing voyeuristic - though it is quite harrowing at times by virtue of the emotion her playing evokes. The content complements the film "Hilary and Jackie", by using interviews with Du Pre herself, which are particularly interesting.

The recordings of her performances are also excellent. I'd recommend it to all Du Pre fans and indeed anyone who loves cello music.
