There was a TV documentary about Jacqueline Du Pré reshown quite a few years ago. I think I have it on video cassette somewhere. It was immensely powerful, but what I remember best, oddly, was an impromptu "piano four hands" with Barenboim, the two of them playing a well known lively Mozart piece together on a single piano. They're fooling about & it was just for fun while taking a break between serious stuff, but an absolute joy to watch, so full of life and laughter.
