The movie Hillary and Jackie and the book by her siblings barely touches on her bizarre behavior before she was diagnosed with MS at the age of 28.
Jackie was one of a kind. I would someday like to put roses on her grave. She has touched my heart.

@jamflu It wasn't given to Yo Yo Ma. It was bought by the Vuitton foundation for about a million pounds and loaned to him. It now belongs to someone else, though.

@paulusmaximusvii Well in the person of Jesus he might - getting crucified is a pretty good way of understanding the human condition, I would have thought. I am not religious, but dislike the trendy anti-religious spirit that's abroad these days.

@dantedirenzo I thought that at first, too. Then I really listened (not saying you aren't!) and played the piece; each note is like a piece of taffy on the puller - the longer you stretch it out, the more profundity it has. Once again, this is just my way of thinking about it. Cheers!

Why did you have to taint such beautiful music with such hateful words?

@paulusmaximusvii To know oneself, is to know the one Self; the boundless source and substratum of everything.
God would not understand this music if he existed. it's a testament to human turmoil, sadness, love and all that other good stuff. How could god possibly understand those things? it's kinda demeaning of the human spirit, that whenever one encounters something beautiful, that it must be some cosmic intervention. i would sooner worship Jacqueline or Elgar as gods, then try to attribute their art to some omnipresent jack-off. no offense.

It was Barenboim and they were married at the time. Did you know that the cello she is playing here is the Strad yellow cello which she gave to Yo Yo Ma before here death. As much as I enjoy Yo Yo Ma, I feel comfortable in saying that Jackie was the greatest cellist of our time.
