  • I discovered the music of du Pré in the movie and subsequently bought the Elgar concerto, which never disappoints!

    This particular piece is also very well performed by Han-na Chang, on her Debut Recording, when she was only 13 which is remarkable. Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saëns and Fauré are also on this mind-blowing album.

  • Who cut onions...

    0.Q

  • 8 dislikes? WTF is WRONG with people!!!

  • @HarrietVane I was wondering the same thing...ttis is one of the most beautiful, soulful pieces of music ever written played witht such sensitivity and feeling. It makes my heart and soul cry.

  • @BytomGirl

    You have described it exactly. Thank you

  • @HarrietVane My pleasure... I always have goosbumps listening to it... Happy Holidays.

  • @BytomGirl Thanks for nice comment!

  • @mariadelamor21 My pleasure Maria :-) Thank you.

  • thanks for posting this! i have to play this for a festival that i'm being judged on this year and this is really helping me learn it!

  • I came to your channel because they had an interview on Science Friday about Hedy Lamarr, and then I find Jacqueline du Pre. It has been years and I admired her so. THank you.

  • Love this piece...it has always been a firm favourite of mine to play, and she just brings so much out of it with her beautiful sound. Long live her memory and her music.

  • This is her first version.The second one is with full orchestra and her husband Daniel Barenboim conducting.

  • Sweet!!!

    

  • I found this song ; Yiddishe Mamma and they've used Kol Nidrei as an Intro !

    Look in Youtube for : - "Mein Idishe Momme" as a tango in Russian ! -

  • Beautiful music. Gorgeous sound. Played with full imagination and sincerity. This is simply the most profound performance for me. Thank you for sharing.

  • @Agenamigo Beautiful words! Thank you.

  • It's wonderfull. I love this!

    If you like, watch my version, it's just a part, not the hole one, but maybe you want to take a look at it ;)

  • Just such beautiful music... the cello's mournful, mellow tones are perfect for releasing the deepest of thoughts and emotions...whilst the piano playing emits hope. Both instruments and piece of music never fails to move me.

  • Tonight I heard a beautiful rendition on Cello by a local musician that was absolutely beautiful ... but then again on the cello it is truly an exquisite piece! We also sang it with the sensitivity and love it deserves. It is a beautiful prayer.

  • Thanks you so much for posting this beautiful, sensitive rendition of Kol Nidre, While we lost an incredible artist with her death, with this video she will always be available to us.

  • @bjhcohen Thanks, your words are a pleasure for me.

  • my yearly pilgrimage to this recording on Yom Kippur once again proves to be a most rewarding one for body, mind and spirit

  • An amazing outpouring of emotion in this beautiful rendition of Kol Nidrie.

    How wonderful that Max Bruch composed such a piece, how fortunate is the world to have had the likes of Jacqueline du Pre to play it for us.

  • @vazoi68 Thank you very much for your beautiful words!

  • It is how I go back, each year.

    bertzpoet

  • It's almost too beautiful.

  • @Bellale1000 Thank you so much for nice comment!

  • Deeply moving, not just at Yom Kippur, but also whether you're Jewish or not. ;) Especially when du Pré plays it.

    But I've also heard an amazing performance by Ha-nah Chang on a cello album with Fauré, Tchaikovsky, etc. Forever etched in my memory...

  • Deeply moving, whether it's Yom Kippur or not, whether you're Jewish, or not. ;) Especially when du Pré plays it...

    But I've also heard an amazing version by Ha-nah Chang on a cello album with Fauré, Tchaikovsky, etc. The entire album is out of this world. Forever etched in my memory.

  • einfach großartig .....

  • pués lo has conseguido, y no sólo por este video

  • @fffranciscodelgastor Pues me haces muy feliz. Gracias. Andaba estos días un poco desmadejada.

  • increible pieza, que maravilla y esas imágenes intercaladas de mi ciudad; la Virgen Macarena, El parque Maria Luisa, el Puente de Triana.... y al final.. esa flor blanca refleja tu alma

  • @fffranciscodelgastor Qué bueno que emocione a un sevillano!!

  • She plays honest. Wonderful!

  • Comment removed

  • I always say that Jacqueline played with honey on her bow. I just wish I had raised the bees. Rest in peace, princess.

  • one of my favourite musics

  • Deeply moving, at any time of year, not just Yom Kippur.

  • Emotional AND delicate. Soulful AND precise. Accompaniment also sublime.

  • Oh my word. That ending. . .

  • such an amazing talent sadly missed,

  • I wonder how we could live without music ,Just beautiful .

    So sad she past away in young age.

  • @manouchehr7 Totally agree. Thanks for your beautiful words.

  • @manouchehr7 To be honest, the true tragedy is she couldn't play at such a young age. She lived twenty years after she couldn't play anymore--I can only imagine the internal pain and frustration that she experienced in those years before her passing. Her story is a tragic one, but the music she produced is among the most exquisite in the world.

  • @GeorgeMaj15 Beautiful words about Jacqueline du Pré and her art. I agree with you. Thank you so much.

  • @GeorgeMaj15

    Well, she did deal with it well. She talked mainly about how much worse some people have it. She said she was lucky. Touching and puts things into perspective.

  • so beautiful, and enchanting

  • @EBrownies95 Thank you so much for your comment.

  • I only noticed I has stopped breathing when it was over..

  • This is beautiful .... stunning .... I would love to play this soon

  • @llizz56 Thank you, thank you so much for your opinion

  • How can anyone "dislike" this sublime playing. OMG... could they really be music lovers?

  • WOW, this is soo beautyful, and so cool

  • What kind of composition is this, a concerto? Please respond, I'm trying to write about it for a paper.

  • @heykoolaid100 I think its an opus but it may just be a piece ... what do you mean exactly?

  • We must start a Facebook page just for people that love,play,and live classical music and are able converse with each other. Contact me on Facebook at Raymond Parkinson, or are you of the opinion that we should rather keep it to ourselves. A sort of membership only club. We could learn a lot from each other.Contact me with some ideas.

  • @davidoff9764 Is this just cellists?

  • @llizz56 No not at all. It would be for all of us.

  • @davidoff9764 Sounds a gd idea but i don't have fb it doesn't intrest me... considering it though

  • Who's George Gershwin!!!!

  • Jacqueline Mary Du Pre for me personally is, and always be, a legend. Every time I pick up my cello I hear the opening of the Elgar No1.

  • @davidoff9764 Same! I'm actually playing Kol nidre right now, and whenever i start playing, i imagine im her......if thats not wierd............ ;)

  • @charlicoca123 If you wan't to hear it played badly just listen to Pablo Casals playing it on Utube. Don't get me wrong Casals is a brilliant Cellist however..............

  • god. i listen to this piece everyday and i wish i could play it as well as her. But then again, there are some people out there you just cant compare too. Jaqueline du Pre is one of them. <3 this piece!

  • Very touching, sentimental.

  • Lovely! TY mariadelamor21 for posting.

  • One would probably assume Max Bruch was Jewish so it's interesting to note that he was actually Protestant. Trivia aside - a truly beautiful peice.

  • @alboxinfo-Irving Berlin a Jew wrote the song White Xmas,and George Gershwin also a Jew wrote Porgy and Bess.the opera.or operetta.

  • 7:06 is the best part. Excellent playing.

  • i love this piece, and when I listen to Jacqueline du Pre play it, I can almost see the emotion and color that she uses when she plays. She loved playing this piece, and it shows in her 'voice' on the cello. I'm not surprized she converted to Judism. I just wish she were alive to express her emotion and love to the younger generation.

  • Yes, Jacqueline Du Pre's interpretation of this work is certainly in my collection. As a matter of interest watch Teodora Miteva playing this same work I would be interested in your opinion

  • @davidoff9764 i enjoyed listing to Teodora Miteva, however, i think Jacqueline Du Pre uses more passion. But thank you for your advice.

  • I almost think I like the piano arrangement better than the full orchestra

  • just WOW

  • @XxbambambxX Thank you, thank you so much.

  • sublime 

  • @philoza1000 Thank you so much!

  • I played that with a good friend of mine, loved it <3

  • Jacqueline Du Pré - so early was taken from life. I know I am saying a cliché, but allow me to say it: her music made her eternal. She left us, but the music and her soul stayed with us any and every time we hear her playing.

  • No instrument squeezes tears out of me like the cello.... haha...

  • Despite my love for Jackie, this is not a great Kol Nidre. The best version with piano I've heard is by Inbal Segev. The CD is around and has other great things on it. . #1 is the 1947 Kol Nidre by Piatigorsky with orchestra. It also has the Saint-Saens #1 and Dvorak (#2) concertos.

  • @fasteddie5439 i would disagree. This version is played slower but i think with a richer sound. The one by inbal is very good but a little faster. I'd say they're about even.

  • My all-time favorte cellist, by way of sound, technique and story-telling: Steven Isserlis, then my newfound favorite, Alban Gerhardt. Peter Wispelwey still woos me but my teacher Aleksander Ciechanski has restolen my heart. Harro Ruysenaars, former principal of the Concertgebouw Orchestra my teacher for 2 years is my role-model of the left hand and modern-day cello technique.  And then there's Anner Bijlsma, who stole my heart with his first Bach Suite recordings on the baroque cello!

  • top 3 cellists ever:1. Rostropovich 2.jacqueline du pre 3.yo-yo ma/ jullian webber

  • @BIgGuidojoe What do you think of Steven Iserlis?

  • @YeeJian1 hes excellent, im just not very familiar with his work.

  • @BIgGuidojoe :) He just performed the Variation of Theme Rococo by Tchaikovsky in Leeds, UK.:)

  • @BIgGuidojoe i would have to say my favourite cellists are 1. Rostropovich 2. Mischa Maisky 3. Julian Webber .. though Jacqueline du Pre and Yo Yo Ma are both stunning cellists too :)

  • tres bien madam !!!! et monsiuers

  • such long and melancholy and also beauty

  • such longing and melancholy...beautiful

  • How touching! Thank you for this beautiful posting.

  • WOW !

  • I have always loved this as one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. And this du Pré recording is magnificent and takes me back to my own work in the 1960s in classical music television production. Why can't we turn on our TV any longer and see the young artists of today? At least there is YouTube.

  • @sandbookstudio Well said... At least here in Norway we got Nrk2, which show some classical music as well as portraits of young artists. But still, the commercialism, if I can call it that, has taken over the time we live in!

  • @thomandy i agree most of the people i know are not even aware of classical music and never listen to it

    why? its soo beautiful

  • @hugslyh Yes. It´s unaccustomed and classical music is so beautiful.

  • @thomandy You've found the Kol Nidre! How wonderful Thomas! Music of, and for the soul! Deep seated, a still thought, so moving.

    Perhaps it is that commercialism has taken over because there is in classical music an intimacy not meant for all. Truth exists for the wise and beauty for the susceptible heart. Both these virtues have their home in what we call classical music. If they reach you as they have done here it is because those very virtues are also a part of your being. Blessings Thomas! 

  • O my ....

    

  • a beautiful sad and memorable experience

  • @ETNEWMAN1 Thanks for your comment.

  • She was a brilliant woman who was treated like trash by her husband, Daniel Barenboim.

  • @SFVoice4Israel

    Not many people are made to deal well with severe illness of a relativ.

    My mother gets lost in Alsheimer and I am not able to deal well with that too.

    Did you ever master such a year by year situation around yourself?

    Strictly sticking to the matrimonial vow its right what you say, but it might be a to heavy burden to bear.

  • @schattensand - Indeed; you make a good point. But Barenboim was cruel to De Pre. Not only did he flaunt his lovers all over the world, but he employed an anti-Semitic woman to nurse Du Pre in her waning years when she was helpless. Du Pre, who was Jewish, was forced to listen helplessly to this awful woman read from the Gospels to her and try to convert her to Christianity. This "nurse" also would tell Du Pre how she was going to hell because she was Jewish.

  • @SFVoice4Israel

    I searched the net for two hours to find evidence for what you claim. I did not find a single trace. Afaik du Pre converted to mosaic ritus to marry the jew Barenboim.

    Both were first musicians, second musicians, third may be lovers and may be, may be somewhere Jews too. Means that in that society believe systems do not have the priority than it does to you. Up to now Barenboim seems to be more a critical humanist than an devoted Jew. Seems you have some problems with that.

  • @SFVoice4Israel Don't think Barenboim knew shit about du Pre as a woman, a human being- he did not know her past nor do many people talk about the fact that she came from a small, evangelical, closed brethren-type background, like me and that does not mix with pompous Judaism!

  • @imlovingrondos It is very telling how my comments have brought out such anti-Semitism. Instead of lazily checking the internet for information on du Pre, maybe you should read a book - her biography. Resorting to hatred and fear of Jews and Judaism shows what a lazy bigots you are.

  • @SFVoice4Israel As an Anglo Saxon Protestant i wish to ask everyone to refrain from using this forum as a means of criticising the Jewish people. I also have my doubts about Barenboim's sincerity however, let's put that whole debacle behind us and move on.

  • What year was this recording made?

  • @saea58 year 1963

  • @mariadelamor21 That can't be correct. Jacqueline Du Pre stopped playing the cello at age 28 (1973) because of her affliction with multiple sclerosis. So the recording must be at least 37 years old or more. What year was it made?

  • 06:45 - You can see she was crying while playing!

  • thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you !!!!

  • Good old Gerald Moore . God Bless him hes played with and for just about everyone.  Beautifull Jackie,

  • exceptional touching!!!

  • search: Amorphic drum ...( 1st video result ).

    what technique is this??

  • This is quite a performance, this woman's talent on the cello is unique. This video was recommended to me for viewing. It is an honor to listen to such a great instrumental performance.

  • @conyelp Thank you for your words and thanks to which recommended it.

  • extraordinaria versión del Kol Nidrei, para los que no saben, este nombre refiere a la víspera de las grandes festividades, el Ion Kipur, el Pesaj tienen su momento inicial, un acto único para el creyente es someterse al proceso del ayuno y la necesidad de estar inscripto en el libro de la vida. ¿Alguien se pregunto si Bruch no hubiere sido judío un ser tan detestable como Wagner sería recordado?, ¿Por qué es recordado sólo el peor?, bueno, la música sublima estas preguntas.

  • RIP Jackie, you will always be an inspiration to me

  • me acuerda a mi ex novia ,quien me enseño a escuchar esta linda musica

  • fabulous

  • gracias por esto!!

  • Al escuchar a Jackie da la impresión que la vida es mejor,que el mundo es mejor.

    Me enaltece escucharla, ella hace florecer nuestra parte buena.

    Todos deberían oirla e intentar entender sus gestos; a veces un poco exagerados y muchas veces exageradamente expléndidos, todos...por lo menos una vez en la vida.  Mil gracias a quien subió esta maravilla musical !!!

  • @RobertoCamurri Gracias por compartir tu opinión.

  • Such pretty music. The cohesion of soft piano and cello make this a phenomenal piece .

  • Hermosísimo. Bellísima versión.

  • @manuelpr57 Sí, verdad? Creo que es bellísima y sublime. Gracias.

  • ERMOSO

  • @TEBAN320 Gracias.

  • kol nidrei es una obra bellisima yo la e cantado muchos años para esta fecha y en este momento al escucharla me emociono es bellisima por eso les digo ah todos lo iehudim no ihudim que la escuchen y que vayan ah la sinagoga para esta fecha

  • @DULCE5428 Cuando la escuché por primera vez me quedé alucinada. Es de una belleza insondable y total.

  • The piano gives it a different feel, but for the first few moments when the solo cello comes in, I think I like the orchestra better. Piano just doesn't give it that 'exhaling' feel. Does somebody have a recording of JduP of Kol Nidrei with orchestra?

  • Great musician, taken too young. This song is traditionally played by in the synagogue the night before the beginning of Yom Kippur by a solo cello and either a piano or organ. She converted to Judaism when she married Daniel Barenboim. The pictures of her are nice, but the rest are rather incongruous considering the origination of the piece.

  • i dont like it..i love it...this is soo...wow

  • curiosa la combinación de la música de MAx Bruch con imágenes de la Semana Santa de Sevilla y otras de la ciudad

  • Thank you for posting this beautiful interpretation of a wonderful piece...

  • still my favourite rendition of kol nidrei so far...

    too bad i can't find any recordings of jackie playing the kol nidrei with an orchestra. that would be the perfect recording. would be so gorgeous. anyone know if such a recording exists??

  • Yes there is, its from the album Brahms : Cello Sonatas 1 & 2/Bruch:Kol Nidrei. You can go to Amazon and download the mp3 .

  • thank you so much! i will buy the album!

  • Thank you. Excellent comment!!!

    I´m totally agree.

  • @mariadelamor21

    Thank u. ur so kind

  • Some ppl have read the works of all great thinkers and become great thinkers themselves, but they would rather keep silent in the presence of one. when i read a book i add nothing to its value. Ppl like rostroprovitch or du pre do not just play bachs prelude. its like the holy spirit to the apostles. they do not just report the epiphany but they as well describe how it works within them. a spiritual experienc. thats what it really is

  • you're so right

  • Nothing but the truth.

  • Thank you for this comment, that is really food for thought....

  • @danpars That was beautiful, and true. Thank you

  • @requiem4sorrow Thank you for your words.

  • it's wonderful.

  • Great Jackie how we all love your playing!!!

  • She is dead in 1987 of a multiple sclerosis, at 42 years.

  • Thank you for this kind of comment.

    The cello is my favourite instrument too.

  • Such depth of feeling, only Jacqueline du Pre could sing like that with the cello. Thanks to her, the cello has long been my favourite instrument. How extraordinary, Gerald Moore accompanied the great tenor McCormack in the late 30s! This is indeed a precious recording. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • I actually prefer hearing it flat rather than it being sharp...

  • Veryy Nice!

  • Why is the pitch so flat (not her playing, but the absolute pitch of both instruments)? Is it a transfer problem - i.e a slow turntable or tape deck - or did they actually tune this flat?

  • Eh... Its probably about 3 cents flat, which is much closer than most records come. Most, in fact, are rather sharp. This one is quite accurate.

  • In listening today, you're absolutely right. But I swear it was much flatter last time I listened. Is it possible that the clock that controls the digital playback at youtube is less than perfect and gets whacked out sometimes?

  • The weirdest experience I ever had with digital pitch glitches was watching a promo copy of the film Once. Glen Hansard's character says, "this is in C" and proceeds to play in something very close to B. Apparently the film was transferred from 25 frame PAL to 24 frame without pitch compensation. As Hansard won the academy award with these screwed up dupes it might have been for the better!

  • jacqueline....you are the best and you will always be in my heart! I love you!!!

  • Thank you for posting it. As always moving, haunting and heartbreaking, especially knowing the story behind the need to cancel vows and being aware of her personal story as well.

  • how odd that his name is Max Bruch and Baruch means Blessed in Hebrew!!!

  • @ceniboy Isn't Baruch a first name rather than a surname, so the two are not related? Bruch is Break in English, so I fail to see the association. Sorry. I do adore this composition though, so nothing against the composer, quite the contrary.

  • @ceniboy what's so odd about that?

  • Thanks for the fav and your words.

  • Du Pré-the one and only. She went into depth we rarely have a glimpse of. Made this world a better place.

  • In the eleventh century Rabbi Meir ben Samuel (Rashi's son-in-law) changed the original wording of Kol Nidre so as to make the Nusach Ashkenaz version apply to the future instead of the past; that is, to vows that one might not be able to fulfill during the next year."

  • "It refers to vows assumed by an individual for himself alone, where no other persons or interests are involved. Though the context makes it perfectly obvious that no vows or obligations towards others are implied, there have been many who were misled into believing that by means of this formula all their vows and oaths are annulled.

  • Kol Nidre or Kol Nidrei (Aramaic: כל נדרי) is an Aramaic declaration recited in the synagogue before the beginning of the evening service on erev Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Though not a prayer, this dry legal formula and its ceremonial accompaniment have been charged with emotional undertones since the medieval period, creating a dramatic introduction to Yom Kippur on what is often dubbed "Kol Nidrei night"[1]. Its name is taken from the opening words, meaning "All vows".

    El idioma como descubrimiento es lo que me fascina. Esos enlaces entre palabras aparentemente arbitrarios, creación oscura del pensamiento, que nos visualizan una realidad luminosa y única. Ahí es donde la lengua me parece poderosamente sugestiva e infinita.

  • El idioma no tiene limitaciones. Su capacidad de reinventarse es infinita. Basta con que desatemos el hilo de la imaginación y lo amemos apasionadamente. Saludos

  • its romantic, one is allowed liberty with the tempo

  • Sí, no sé si es más bello o más triste.

    Será que la tristeza es una forma de belleza desamparada?

  • maria recién una amigo me dijo "aunque uno va sintiendo cada vez más que la comunicación hablada por más rica que sea es limitada" y le refute su comentario con tu hermoso post ... y se quedo sin palabras .. gracias
