Elgar Cello Concerto 1st Movement: Jacqueline du Pre

[renangoncalvesflores]

Eraserhead?! O_O

[RafnHeimisson]

2:40 is orgasmic

[GA4N]

The curious thing is : if you immediately (or not , only after a few days) like or love this interpretation , it will be , however , in your head and memory for the rest of your life ...

[Philobiblion]

We love Jacqui because she is our (60-year old-selves) as the hippie kid she looked like. It is hard to view a video of herself without sobbing like a child. I find these videos immensely moving. Thank you so much. PJTramdack (Philobiblion)

[nenizcello]

jacqui makes me cry :'( she's so amazing!!!

[CallOFDutyMVP666]

Can you believe she memorized this whole concerto (all 4 movements) in 4 days when she was 14! I love you jacqueline!

[askmir]

SIMPLY MESMERIZING!!!

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! Jacqueline du Pré - the greatest cellist the world has ever known.

[dngeng]

I really like that Elias Miller kid's response to this video. Kid's got talent.

[semi0epic0cellist]

Finally, it is about time this video was restored to Youtube after the other one was removed. All deserve to hear the beauty of this emotional and tender piece. It is hands down the epoch of a cellist's repertoire. Simply beautiful, well done DuPre.

[Violnplayr23]

This just brought tears to my eyes. I love you, Jaq.

[dramaqueen412]

love this :)

[xxDaisuki]

She lives in my heart and will forever be my greatest inspiration... I can't get enough of her playing. No one will ever play like she did...

[AlternativeBaroque]

Elgar just doesn't get enough love.

[NiniMushu]

So sad how the great Jaqeline Du Pre died. :(

[Cellogirl1000]

And just who could click 'dislike' on this???  Oh to play like she does....us mere mortals can only dream....

[soccerheart2996]

i love how both the conducter and du pre are so young here :) incredible talent can come from any age!

[antizac]

I love this so :) can anyone suggest me more of such brilliance?

[Cellogirl1000]

@antizac Listen to her Bach, or the Dvorak Cello Concerto, or the Saint-Saens Concerto in A minor....there's a box set of 17 CDs of all her EMI recordings on Amazon for only about 17 quid, and it's well worth getting. There's so much wonderful music on them, including this concerto in its entirety. Happy listening! 

[musikgirl1]

Oh wow! I heard the Maestro Barenboim had loaned it out and I am glad to hear it.Instruments should be played.She loved the Peresson because of it's ease of play.

Good luck and enjoy!

[musikgirl1]

She was only 22 here.

[Darknessinpit57]

lovely

[firestartertwistedfi]

Anyone know which cello she used in this performance?

[musikgirl1]

@firestartertwistedfi The Davidov Stradivarius.

[acerflots]

he looks like the protagonist from Eraserhead

[jgbusquets]

@bountyhanz Have you listened Han-na Chang? She's maybe the greatest cellist of our days, you can find videos of her in youtube.

[jackytong2036]

8 people's speakers have been out of order

[bountyhanz]

I just hope that another Jacq will be created in this world...

[xxmikaela89xx]

that was beautiful

[dendennzhao]

beautiful

[misscellodragon]

This is the most powerful piece I have ever heard.

[TheCaptainKanada]

balls good

[mutantcheeseburger22]

@TheHandsomeCrab idiot...

[TheHandsomeCrab]

shitty old music

deserves to die, only idiots buy it

all dubstep is the new beethoven

[jewellcrye]

@TheHandsomeCrab You are dumb.

[MysticAngel4]

@TheHandsomeCrab If it was for classical, i mean everything baroque, rocco, classical, romantic, impressionism. there would be no jazz, pop, rock, alternative, rap. anything. So you sir are dumb.

[TheHandsomeCrab]

@MysticAngel4 and if it hadn't been for the stone we would all be monkeys

[MysticAngel4]

@TheHandsomeCrab and if it hadn't been for bach you'd have no dubstep.

[MysticAngel4]

@TheHandsomeCrab and if it hadn't been for bach you'd have no dubstep.

[TheHandsomeCrab]

@MysticAngel4 Maybe you should skin up a big fat bifta and smoke out to some dubstep?

ha, ha ha, I love you mystic angel and I hope u r a girl IRL because girls who stand up to my bullshit with dignity and determination and without bitchiness and really SMEXY (disregard this if you are a boy/tranny etc)

[Pretendkid]

@TheHandsomeCrab At least you realize what you're spewing out is "bullshit"

[musikgirl1]

@TheHandsomeCrab Not that old....1917 or 18.

[musicloving1234567]

8 PEOPLE ARE DEAF

[TheHandsomeCrab]

shitty old music deserves to die

only idiots buy this shit

[yotubby123]

@TheHandsomeCrab Who are you to call this shitty old music? you may not like it, but keep that to yourself, please.

[zzn13]

@TheHandsomeCrab Get the hell out of the classical music videos if you have no appreciation for them. "Shitty old music" is the only reason why you have shitty new music now. So shut your mouth.

[kittyninjamew]

@TheHandsomeCrab Bro, get a life. No one need to hear your stupid comments about so called "idiots," when people who play and listen to classical music are a hell of a lot smarter than you probably are. And of all pieces to comment like that on, you choose this gorgeous piece being played by one of the most talented cellists ever.

Only idiots would listen to you.

[MozesDackerman39]

Grab the audio from this video at tubepull doht cohm.

[d4ni3lschi4v0]

du Pre & Barenboim woo0o0o0w love love love xDDD

[LaFarfalla246]

I have always loved listening to the sad, haunting tone of the cello as it's such a beautiful instrument.

[piecewise66]

the main player's melodramatic spasms sorta kill the seriousness of it all

[PieJesuG]

It's better than stickman-mah! (YYM)

[polymath7]

If you are bothered by Jaqueline Du pre's "melodramatic spasms" the sight of Mitsuko Uchida performing might well afford you a kind of perverse pleasure.

I imagine she'd render you insensible to the music altogether.

[holhord]

Has anyone heard the venetian snares remix of this its amazing. Classical + Breakcore = wow

[thedevo01]

More like Classical + Breakcore + Glitchcore = omfgwtf?

[dsyglym]

hahah the conductor barenboim!!!

[polymath7]

Why "ha ha?"

Because they were married? Yes that is comical isn't it?

Come to think of it, I believe English law forbids husband and wife from participating in the same orchestral performance; there is an obvious conflict of interest.

[goroundit123]

why do they get taken away from us...?

[edpsychlady]

She's become a part of my life. Her musical passion has been my guidepost and model. And her personality makes me love her all the more. I feel that in some ways, I know her. Beautiful video.

[Flati123]

Amazinggg. Such a great inspiration!!!

[paulpieroni]

With the greatest respect - do you not feel you could reserve your tenuous promotional gestures for either the beginning or end of this clip? While I can just about deal with your URL flashing up at the beginning, having 'out now on dvd' pop up on screen 42 seconds into this moving clip is just perverse and, above all, disrespectful to those who wish to enjoy seeing the tragic Du Pre performing in her prime without spending money with your company

Twits.

[TheZibatarinMoosighi]

@paulpieroni i could not agree more ..beloved Jaqueline in our hearts .

[letsbeone]

@paulpieroni Hear, hear. Well vented. Perhaps that 'i' should be an 'a'.

[7777Scion]

@paulpieroni IGNORE this comment. We are appreciative that you post these promo vids and realize that would not happen w/o some sort of advert.

[TheAlexBody]

@paulpieroni Then buy the DVD!

[lordhelpyou]

@paulpieroni for gods sake stop moaning and just listen man!

[cjbl84]

@paulpieroni Sadly - that is the way of the world - you are not obliged to watch this particular video. If you don't like this FREE video that has been uploaded for your enjoyment, go and pay for the original.

People are always trying to get something for nothing and even when they do they're not content. On your bike!

[charizianne]

@cjbl84 well it's not exactly free, you have to pay internet services to access internet and download videos, lol

[AlternativeBaroque]

@cjbl84 There are ways to advertise your business without being absolutely whorish about it. Hope that helps.

[laubowiebass]

Aamzing. Thx for posting this video!

[debrichards1]

No one can ever play this piece with the passion or intensity. She is amazing.

[DanielCifuentesBass]

the concertino is Carlos Villa?

[wufufufu]

she messed up around 2:20

otherwise it was > yo yo

[mynameismaurice]

-it was yoyo

[DanielCifuentesBass]

Dupre Is Amazing

[Natasha1786]

Absolutly beautiful this perfomance. I'm in love with her way of playing, she was so full of passion and, of course, she was a genious. I love cello besides, and she makes me cry. Wonderful.

[talcorn1984]

this piece is amazing. it conjures up images of norwegian vistas in my head.

her rendition is very strong, emotional. she really connects with this piece.

wow

[sinaia1]

DIVINE! N.G

[arlekin1919]

perfecto...

[afer63]

She really becomes one with the music. It's obvious from the look on her face. Beautiful performance!

[fanniandwads]

Thank for this video, I will treasure it forever.

[dorotheafayne]

Jacqueline Du Pré is an angel - and a strong one at that!  Dorothea :))

[S3Suggs]

She scares me a little.

Wonderful though

[faune]

It's such a wonderful wonderful performance!!!!!!!!

[trschaefer]

So beautiful and passionate.

[waddleduckie1]

Her presence still remains with the legacy she left behind. The tribute to the greatest cellist on the planet. No one will be as good as she was. Not even me. There can only be one Jackie. The video is one of the most heart rendering tribute of Jacqueline DuPre.

[DrBananaCampbell]

my heroine!

[violinci]

wonderful!!!!!

[lovetheviolin]

We all miss you down here, dear Jackie :(

[DuPrerocks]

In my opinion no one will ever play this gorgeous concerto as well as du Pre.

[mikeonfreeserve]

God bless. This is an achingly beautiful performance by a great artist.
