Elgar Cello Concerto 4th mov. - part 2

[extracomunicante]

I love she, too much!!!

[bewdleybluenose]

Best Elgar interpretation in the world ever!!!!! She is my idol and will be for ever xxx No one can make the cello sing like she did.

[Cellogirl1000]

MS is cruel

[2whitsbury]

The most stunning piece of music. She played with such heart.

[lef72]

best of all time. Pure goddess.

[u2bvideo]

She plays like an angel. Nobody can play like her.

[CelloCello90]

Increible como esta mujer juega con este concierto, es como si estuviera tocando una simple escala..jaqueline du pre siempre seras la grande ♫♪♫

[Yentl17]

Yo amo a Jacqueline (L) Ella fue una gran chelista ^^ y siempre la admirare :') (Y)

[alkandros21]

jackie is very big for a girl..she stands at 6' and her husband is only 5'7''...lol ... i love her so much! ;)

[athinasophia]

She really understood the music. Just like Maria Callas in the opera :)

[chiv78]

He looks so little next to her....despite his big wavy arms...She is the infinity of art, music and love!!!

[batchava]

She is both noble and sensitive 

[radstainforth]

Excellent!

[sisifus100]

Many years ago heard her on TV- I thing it was her 30th anniversario of her dead on 1987. She is the greatest for ever.

[MrAALL100]

amo a jacqueline... la amooo

[MsTalkingtrees]

she is such a cutie on 0:36 ,oh :)

[assindiastignani]

There simply are no words.

[lovelylady525]

Just breathtaking :)

[ChucklezTM]

Ok. Listen to this. Now imagine what it would sound like if they had the same amazing technology that we do today for recording. I would not survive this. I would be in HEAVEN (or similar, depending on your religion.) OH MY GOSH!!!

[MusicPassion45678]

I wish I had a time machine.

[MusicPassion45678]

She makes it look so effortless and like it's complete fun! Go Jackie!

[MrGuilen]

the image at around 5.32, the entire frame really, as she draws the long beautiful note out into fade, is possibly one of the greatest frames i've ever seen... *happy sigh

[chopin65]

God rest her beautiful soul.

[ulimaino]

6: 39 are Jackie parents aren´t they?

[KiaOra53]

Why aren't the audience on their feet screaming BRAVA!

Bloody cold bastards.

[chopin65]

LOL. That's the English for you. In Japan I have heard, but not witnessed that such a perfect performance would receive a stunned silence. It is intended to show honor to the performer. As I said above, I am not sure if this is the actual case. But just imagine if she had just performed that miracle in front of a dead quiet audience.

[saltburner2]

@KiaOra53

Because this is a BBC Studio performance, recorded without an audience.

Barenboim [her husband] had apparently not conducted the work before, and in rehearsals his music stand was an obstacle to the cameras, so he had quickly to memorise the whole score.

Apart from the famous EMI recording [with Barbirolli] there are also live performances available from Philadelphia [Sony - with Barenboim] and Prague [with Barbirolli - Testament].

[Runescape28]

It's sad that Mvmt. 1 has over 1 million views and this one has less than 100,000!

[MusicPassion45678]

sweet intoxication

[eorlandopalmieri]

Esta moça tocava maravilhosamente bem.

[fredericfranc]

Asincere smile, unheard of today, she does not bother about being cool. Neither does Elgar: a son of highly unmusical nation comes up with this darkly emotional concerto. It is apparently a tribute to their class system; therefrom the composer got the conviction for this music. If the English did not have a House of Lords, with one thousand hereditary guys sitting in there, this would never seen the light of day.

[JeffreyHiggins]

@fredericfranc Highly unmusical? This is the country which produced Purcell and was a home to Handel, not to mention the more modern influence of The Beatles and countless other British bands. It is perhaps a nation divided along class lines, but class is definetely one thing this comment lacks.

[coolsdon]

@fredericfranc How is England a highly 'unmusical nation?'...Have you never heard of Sir George Handel,Delius,Holst,Vaughan Williams,Taverner,Tallis,Walto­n,Britten,Byrd as so on and so forth.This coupled with the UK having some of the best concert venues in the world and some the best orchestas.And where do you think many of the most famous hymns ever written come from? More research please!

[politicopol]

@coolsdon ...Andrew Lloyd Webber...Delius...Gilbert and Sullivan

[violinscratcher]

@politicopol

John Dowland, Henry Purcell, John Dunstable, Thomas Adès. The London Symphonies by Haydn are English music too. And Mendelssohn was crowned with success in London...

[PokutePyon]

@fredericfranc It appears that you know very little of the English nation and its history, the history of its music, especially.

[kam5709]

God bless the person who first gave her a cello :)

[GacktRockz]

She is just a good player, to bad someone like that died so young. RIP.

[dbnska]

aww, she just didnt wana live with Danielle

[alaindeferrier]

Got to be the most noble masterpiece to come from Great Britain played by the most noble embassador of the cello performing what is still,now the oepitomy of Elgar's beloved concerto. Jaquie as the figurhead of our dear British masterwork xxx

[TheTradge]

Well if your wife had multiple sclerosis and couldn't have sex, you would probably want to find someone else. It wasn;t fair of him to do it at all, but you can understand why he would

[Violinfanatic]

@TheTradge Well, he left her after she had an affair with her sister's husband. So, i guess they were both doing wrong stuff. Jackie was cheating on Daniel with her sister's husband, and he left her for another woman. I guess you can't blame him.

[queldryk]

@TheTradge I am a trained musician who has MS; it doesn't mean that I am asexual, but I do have a very understanding partner who I made sure understood the full extent of what this incurable disease will do to me before we got to the 'con fuoco stage of our relationship. The sexual norms and moral pressures in society were different at the time so we should not judge them by our current standards. In reality the only people who know the whole truth are the people who were involved.

[sal198500]

No joke but the first time I listened to this I was honestly weeping with joy.

[volk410]

I don't know how many times I've watched Jackie play the Elgar... and it still reduces me to tears.

[GacktRockz]

Even though I was not alive when she died, i'm sad she is gone.

[reveal09]

Grace, Grace and..Grace. A unique talent... What a gift!

Sje's THE cello of the century!

[CDGrayling]

Quite simply one of the most moving

performances of any piece of music you will ever have the good fortune to witness.

[janicesoprano]

Bravo precious angel! We will never forget you, EVER!

[roberto38766]

Linda e apaixonante interpretação, obrigado por psotarem este video!

[zamyrabyrd]

The recognition of the inevitablity of pain and resignation to it is what makes the music of Schubert, for instance, so heartbreaking. Her facial expressions from about 4:50 are as unmistakeable as the utter pathos of the music itself.

[symphonicrevolution]

5:16 . Oh wow.

[Muinaismuisto]

She's simply ... simply ... well, you cannot describe her in a simple way. Words are not enough. Of course Elgar is worth praise, too. He gave the theory, Du Pré put it in practice.

[Smilthy]

She changed the perspective I had of life.

[jcotteri]

great playlist... brilliant

[celleska17]

Good!

[avril2]

I can't imagine Sir Edward would have believed that his composition would have eventually been realised with such passion.

The definitive performance.

[versenyzo]

The best part when all of the Cellos are playing unisono!!!! That makes me cry all the time!!!

[larulkens]

This is the best of best....

Soooo incredible...

[pantomicino]

Esa hermosa cara en el 0:34

[hypernessoverflows]

Those last minutes of the song just made my day.

[diesherbe]

Natural and graceful. I never saw such amazing cellist like Du Pre...

But she is coquette!

[zattacks]

0:36 Smile for the camera!

[Stravinsky91]

she had a really beautiful smile :) RIP

[pitabread12]

@zattacks smile for barenboim, more like, lulz <333

[priyathethi108]

i swear

around 6:00 - 6:05 where theres that pause note and then she comes in

that is the most amazing thing i have ever heard :)

[cyjon007]

Wow. Imagine getting to perform an excellent work such as this face to face with your loved one, who just happens to be Jaqueline Du Pre haha.

[shep79]

Think he had any inclination he would leave her while she was dying?

[cyjon007]

I sure hope not. Although I hadn't realized he did that until you said something. What a swine! This has to be on the short list of the most poetic tragedies in history!

[jayhl77]

I agree; although it's impossible to know exactly what happened to their relationship, the objective fact is, he left her during her illness and that is certainly a monumental dick move.

[peaswiththat]

Just looked on wikipedia, and apparently he had two sons with someone else in 1983 and 1985, before her death in 1987. "Barenboim tried to keep his relationship with Bashkirova hidden from du Pré and believes he succeeded."

[TheTradge]

Well he started a relationship with Elena Bashkirova while he was still married to Du Pré, and he had 2 kids with her, both born prior to her death! He never 'left' Du Pré as such, but he was in a sexually active relationship while still married to Jackie. After she died, the couple got married (1988 I think)

[Violinfanatic]

@TheTradge Yeah, but Jackie slept with her sister's husband. She had the affair first. I am not saying two wrongs make a right, but I would leave my partner if I found out they cheated on me with their on brother in law.

[manoflamancha49er]

What performance of impression！ Tears overflow and it doesn't stop. It became wonderful holiday today.Thank you for posting.

[rohypnol55]

breathtaking

[usernameguy3]

goosebumps!

[vuxta1]

2:57 - 3:16 is a perfect example of her geourgous portamento

[cl427x]

inspiring performance! to viewers: i hope you all realize barenboim conducts on an upward stroke for a downbeat. this info might make watching him conduct a lot more sense.

[DaddyofT]

I agree with all that she is superb. I cant say the same about her conductor. While it was common in B&W days for TV concerti to have conductors perform from memory, not one pizz or tutti Forte were together. He was way over the top in his gestures too. Also, there is a slight delay on the video so it was hard to tell exactly what Barenboim was beating. But she knew what she was doing. Im sure they rehearsed in "private" plenty of times for her to be on autopilot.

[rio985]

beautiful videos, thank you so much for this!

[Atrusino]

Such an incredible piece of music from start to finish... And I've looked on youtube, in movies.. Old records. No one can play it quite like her.

[gobblekazi]

Holy shit tits. That was beautiful.

[ELGROOVER]

Positively not 4th Street. Had Jacqueline been a lyricist would she have written, "They call my cello mellow, (quite rightly)". I guess, probably not?

Are You Experienced? If you've heard this here phenomenal performance, then yea... ( : not necessarily atoned[sic], but beautiful ; ) As Col. Kurtz might have said, if he'd taken a different turn, "The wonder....the wonder...."

Totally transcendental. This must be very popular with most pan dimensional beings.

cont....

[ELGROOVER]

...cont.

Noticed the criticism of the audience @ the end by some and yea, I agree they did look r@ther lacklustre. To be fair though, really wh@ could they have done to reciproc@e a performance of th@ calibre, short of forming a human pyramid while simultaneously dancing the 'Cossack Dance'

~ In short, gre@ gig ~ : D

[mynameismaurice]

i take it youre a fan then

[blueroseshow]

Thank you so much to uploading all these!!

How happy I am to see and listen to her !

[STILLAVRIL1]

This is music digging deep, right into the soul.

Her version does it.

[anhacus]

If I hear this on the stereo I can always tell if she's playing the cello; head and shoulders above the rest. Tremendous emotional feeling.

[tucano50]

grazie a you tube per avermi dato la possibilità di gustare e "soffrire "questa interpretazione superba .grazie jacqueline ...................

[AntarAakash]

The music of her spirit will be forever a song untouched by time.

When her cheeks are surrendered upon the strings of her beloved cello (at 4:55 - and for about 30 seconds of that section), I cannot help but see her (every single time I watch this) as both Jesus being crucified on the cross and Mary (full of compassion) for her son as she bares witness therein.

This is so so much more than a mere musical experience, it is sacred experience beyond all words and measure.

In reverence

Cailean

[Absolut13Envy]

Her Chords are simply phenomenal!!!

[AlexTheAlso]

The only thing that disappoints me in this video is the fact that she doesn't receive a standing applause. In fact the applause was crap...she deserved way more praise then that.

Her music is angelic, i'm sure she's in heaven making music this second.

[67hob]

...erm, do they have musical instruments in heaven then?

[gsxr750rsuzuki]

absolutely fantastic!

[slothvader]

the intensity with which she plays some of those lines, it's almost like she's stripping myelin from her nerves, advancing that which took her...

sorry, a bit maudlin, i know. still, i've had that reaction several times now, so i'll post it anyway.

[tasteism]

@slothvader A musician in action is always this way, they are neuronic miracles, demanding the utmost of their bodies. You may not be too wrong, read Oliver Sacks 'Musicophilia'.

[fanofjapanandmusic]

i read your comment about telling someone to read Oliver Sacks 'Musicophilia'. what is it about, i will read it asuuming this is abt music. can u just give me gen. bio abt it ?thx

[SpanishEyedDesi]

shes soo playful with her music!

how Brilliant!

[kuamji]

sorry to comment again, but the audience should seriously be bowing TO HER! What a gem!

Thank you Markvogue!

[STILLAVRIL1]

Fabulous.

Makes me cry every time.

[Waterdroplet9]

8 seconds in, wow...

[K2the1]

How cute! I didn't see that teddy bear she has on her lap for good luck or something! She is fenomanel!

[nyyhks]

I love the moment when the theme from the 3rd movement comes again in the end of this last movement.

She plays it so deeply.

[aldebussy]

GENIUS!

I hope she had lived a healthier life, so that she would have been with us right now!

[Marblount]

Simply heavenly. What an incredible treasure!

[bajounguion]

beautiful picture, the last one..

love it, its a greaaaat concerto

[tonyrainey13]

heaven sent. x

[utsux3]

just imagine how much energy was drained from playing all of the movements, almost nonstop..

that's why practice does make perfect :)

[pancras7]

I agree with Kaumji! In my eyes she is the only one who makes us being proud of being British except Diana! When and how can we possibly do them justice? Jacqui brings us to the heaven and makes the cello world alive!

Sadly they've been both undervalued all along!

[cockersuy]

Todas las demás interpretaciones de este concierto quedan deslucídas ante tanta intensidad, emoción y drama. Jacqueline Du Pre no habrá otra igual.

[fanniandwads]

Thank you thank you Markvogue for the ability to listen to this amazing performance. So natural,frail,beautiful and awesome. MS still has no cure after all these years, how sad to still lose friends from this terrible disease.

[mariadelamor21]

Gracias infinitas por permitirnos gozar de este milagro. Elgar hubiera amado a Jacqueline Du Pré y no hay duda de que ella amaba hasta en su sangre este concierto físico y sagrado a la vez. !Es conmovedor!

[pjh1554]

she doesn't play cello,she loves it, r.i.p.

[alexander8634]

She is a true artiste. She makes me crying...

[kuamji]

why is the audience so lame? they don't know how lucky they were to see her play this concerto in person

[AlmaSchiwago]

DITO!

I don´t know what they thought or whether they thought at all! I suppose, they understood nothing! THey didn´t notice her brilliancy......

What a shame!

[shortdude42004]

Anyone notice how the video is off-sync with the audio?

Not that it matters.

[disasterpiece55]

maybe your computer or internet connection is slow, because on my computer it's perfectly synced. if you're referring to the difference between the orchestra sound and the conductor's baton, that's because in professional orchestras, the conductor's beat is always ahead of the music because it's of no use to them to receive the information as they're playing it; they need it before.

[davidhberlin]

Sometimes an artist and a composer meet spiritually - this concert was such an occasion. The only response is awe.

[tenipro125]

Indeed.  I do not know any pieces where a performer and a composer is met spiritually like this.

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

check out Rostropovich playing the Shostakovich cello concerto, it's the same kind of spiritual connection except even deeper. Both musicians lived through the same Soviet regime and actually knew eachother

[tenipro125]

I agree with you completely. Can I also add Rostropovich and Saint-Saens as well?

[TheReverencer]

Yes, I absolutely agree! Brilliant music and soloist.

Also worth mentioning is C.M. Giulini with the Wiener Philharmoniker - playing a live performance of Brukner's unfinished Ninth in Vienna.

There is something about live performances, isn't there?

Although there is no soloist in this piece, I believe the conductor and orcherstra transcends the medium and gives us a glimpse of Bruckner's inner soul in his final days. So powerful and moving.

It's available on Deutsche Grammophon 427 345-2.

[dwil5429]

The Elgar in the best hands possible

[pox1358]

Thank you - I'm very grateful for the time and effort you've invested, and certain others will be also.
