Jacqueline du Pré: A Celebration of Her Unique & Enduring..

[GA4N]

yo yo ma got the cello of jdp , but not her music

[CarteParaDoxe]

just listen from 0:30 to 0:36 , and then shut up , you asshole .

[1Thompsonmusic]

Arrogant woman. There is no need to seem so arrogant all the time. It's uninspiring and false. Natalie Clein isn't like that and she's just as talented.

[bersa888]

"...her gift so unexplainable"..?! She was naturally talented, she studied hard, she loved music...! What's the mystery there?!

[shakeynah1]

iWanna be like her when iGrow upp , she was the best . its sad she had to pass so soon , iThouqht that multiple scolosis and scoliosis (idk how to spell) were the same thing . assuminq iHave scoliosis iJuss wish qod could brinq her back on earth so she can play her sonqs one last time for the world , to show these kidds wat true music was . all this sex room and other hood stuff is NOT music , this was the foundation of music , and everytime she played shid did it right .

R.I.P Jacqueline <333

[midnightdemon101]

[DoUdO1000]

My cello teacher went to one of her concert in germany he was about 18 y.o

he told me she was so~ beautiful and her playing is just amazing.

and he has a big picture of her in his office :) (i'm Egyptian btw!)

[NaxosUSA]

@DoUdO1000 Wow, what a great story. And congrats on recent events in Egypt.

[DoUdO1000]

@NaxosUSA ...

Thanks ...... its a great change ..... but not all of us agree on how ppl made our president leave like that

[colourstrom]

@DoUdO1000 YOYOMA WAS ONE OF HER STUDENTs !!

[jthameschoir]

[MrProfessorDonut]

@Shelovescookies Where did you hear that? She was British and never moved to the US so I don't see how she could have attended Julliard. She attended the Royal Academy of Music in London and then started private lessons with various cellists. William Pleeth for example.

[Joebzzz]

@MrProfessorDonut referring to Toby Perlman not Jacqueline

[charizianne]

@MrProfessorDonut no, I think she went to the London Cello School and then went on to the Guildhall School of Music, where William Pleeth is professor of cello.

[RobertoCamurri]

No .Ella no se fué. No señor, por lo menos No para mí.

No llevo la cuenta exacta, pero creo que lo máximo que soporté sin escucharla fueron 2 días.

Que legado valiosísimo nos dejó.

[Maz9ma]

I love her play,smile,her  Musician Personality half in mine Life!Thank you ,hope to say that to you -Jackie if I will go to this place in wich you are....

[TempoFurioso]

the really sad part here is that she could no longer play while she is still alive... that is worse than death...

[sethlightking]

R.I.P,you were a fierce and playful cellist and will always be remembered.

[0unhallowed0]

wow.... you just killed all my dreams and hopes

[AndrewJamesLiles]

So sad. I have never heard of her and only found her here on you Tube. What a talented player.

[Zombiewulf1]

Look at the smiling spirit of this angel...it renews my faith and respect in mankind.

[Preacherman1882]

Cellistically is not a word. How annoying that they could not find better people to talk about Jacqueline....Bless her soul... She plays on the clouds now.....Multiple Scelurosis is a terrible disease... I have a prayer in my heart for the people who must suffer with it...

[giuseppeguarneri]

How annoying that you could not spell "sclerosis" properly. And by the way, "Cellistically" IS a word. Sorry for you ignorance.

[Preacherman1882]

Forgive me for being wrong. I was crying when I typed this. I... I was devastated when I found out that she had died all those years ago. I had found this and ... Just lost it...And now that I'm thinking clearly, I can apologize for speaking so cruely..... I'm truly sorry...

[Joebzzz]

@Preacherman1882 you are right, Itzhak Perlman's wife knows nothing about music...

[shelovescookies]

@Joebzzz She went to Julliard....

[Joebzzz]

@shelovescookies yeah it was sarcasm, I'm sure she's brilliant

[pyrioni]

I don't understand, they try to say she 's musical correct with different pieces, or she's unique with her own interpretation?

[youwrotethis]

"A Creature like no other" I don't like the word "Creature" used to describe one of the best cellists ever..... and is cellistically even a word?

[CicadaKillerMan]

LOL at youwrotethis's comment!

[annpham]

This is just soooo tragic that one of the greatest musicians the world ever had passed away so soon :-(

[lmsubramaniam]

the way that woman says 'cellistically" is SO ANNOYING

[salveutvales]

Imsubramaniam, just for the record, "that woman" is Itzhak Perlman's wife :).

[lmsubramaniam]

haha.... still annoying though

[nicefrog45]

I am a relative newcomer to Jacqueline and although not really into classical music I nevertheless find her lifestory of great interest. I have just received the bio on her by her siblings which I know was made into rather a controversial film. I am looking forward to reading the book and finding out more about her life,multi talent and sad death at just 42 years old. She seemed to have a ready smile and a great sense of humour,as well as so much talent. Such a shame she had to retire at 28.

[Ninjamaggot8]

It is not only a shame, but a tradgedy!

Jascha Heifetz was able to bless us with his music into his 70's. Itzhak Perlman is still playing lovely music and he is 63. Yo-Yo Ma is 53 and he will most likely still play for a long while.

Just think if we could have had Jacqueline du Pré! It is an unbelievable shame that such an amazing and talented person passed away and had to stop doing what she most loved.

[BlarneyStone1]

@ nicefrog45

Hilary Du Pre (sister) says that the film is an accurate depiction of her novel and defends it as such. Such a wonderful talent whos life was cut way too short. Rest in Peace, Jacqueline.

[rolzermen]

Fantastica Historia la de la señorita Du Pré. lasima que se fué....

[Fafikaviolin]

what^s the name of the piece that baremboin plays at the beginnindg??? is so wonderful and du pre make the compliment with the cello in percussion

[AtahualpaGoldstein]

I think Barenboim plays some improvised "milonga", the rhythm that preceeded argentine tango. (Later, the milonga became a much more elaborate music, but its rhythm pattern stayed the same.)

Please look for "Atilio Stampone - La puñalada" here in YouTube; you'll find out the similarities.

[musikgirl1]

"Who was the real Jacqueline du Pre'?"

Question asked and answered by Jackie and her friends via Chrristoforo Nupen's films.

J ;)

[janicesoprano]

This beautiful mystical madonna, with her lovely eyes and silken hair. Struck down in the middle of her youth with such an insidious disease. How could this have happened to such a vibrant life-loving young woman? Did she ever ask why? I have two of her biographies, and the DVD. Surely she asked why her body turned against her. Anyway, we have her immense talent on tape. I wish I had known her and had given her a big hug.

[anitacaroline12345]

Being a cellist, I have to agree with Muaguana. You aren't just 'born' with the ability to make music. I'm only 14 and I started cello when I was 3 years old. There is no WAY I would be where I am if I just said, "Oh, I have talent, so I'll just sit back and watch the scholarships roll in!" No. I work at it and I practice one hour or more pr day. I think about cello all the time, and that's what you have to do to be a great musician. Convince your mind, body, and spirit that you're a musician.

[TheTradge]

i completely agree with zuckerman, jacqui MUST have been sent into the world already with that incredible ability to express music in such an enthralling way! that kind of talent is a gift one is born with, and its so tragic that it was so mercilessly taken away from us so prematurely =( du pré will remain forever a legend in the world of music, and shall be missed dearly!

[Muaguana]

She started playing the violoncello when she was five, and she probably practiced for hours and hours each day. That's where her incredible talent came from - she worked for it. Don't insult her hard work by saying she was just born great; that's one of the most insulting things you could say about any great musician.

Rest in peace, Jacqueline du Pré.

[TheTradge]

Well obviously she worked hard to get to where she did, that's undeniable! But hours of work is nothing if you don't have any talent to accompany it, and she had plenty of it undoubtedly. In an interview with her mother we're told that jacqui could sing in tune before she could talk, and that she could tap rhythms her mother tapped for her before she was a year old =]

[jammydodger00]

Jackie never practised - she did not have to. She is one of the only people that you can say was born the musician that she was.

[Mulwany]

bullshit.

[munkybrain]

I think the only thing that she was born with was a hightened sensitivity to sound - she had a great musical memory. As for her emotional gifts and genius, I think those come in early life, or are perhaps inate in all people, but in normal cases are quickly supressed by lesser aspects of human nature. These 'lesser' aspects of human nature are more encouraged these days, perhaps explaining the present lack of people like her. A great friend of mine is a genius and it's a great gift to know one.

[parl0p]

You are a gift to music, Jackie.

[ayepuramusica]

no hay alguna posibilidad de conseguir el documental en castellano?

[waddleduckie1]

Jacqueline DuPre.... We still miss you so much! We love you!!! This cello world isn't the same without you.(sobs)

[PhillipLWilcher]

I have always felt the cello's sound to be so closely aligned to the voice that it almost has a soul. With Jacqueline du Pre it also had a heart.

What a legacy of love she has left us and how i love this! Thanks for the sharing....

[dorotheafayne]

Lovely. D

[fujimaru69]

[fujimaru69]

[deadpool2099]

I love her music but when I watch her I just want to cry. I know everyone's life is full of bad shit but her's was still a sad lot.

[musikgirl1]

It is truly a wonderful film.

Bravo.And brava to Jackie.
