Jacqueline du Pre - Boccherini cello concerto - part 2

I haven't seen it on YT and I've decided to change it.
This is one of the most beautiful melodies on cello.
Cello concerto in B, second movement (Gruetzmacher arrangement), played in 1967 by the one and the only Jacqueline du Pre.

The very first time I heard this piece, I knew immediately that I simply HAD to learn it... and guess who was playing it?? Jacqueline du Pre. It was simply awe-inspiring. Now that I've reached the level of skill necessary to play this piece, I'm going to ask my teacher to teach it to me. Just thought I'd share that little anecdote about myself. Thank you for posting this video =)

Thank you : ) I know what you mean. I first heard Moonlight Sonate by Beethoven when I was a child. No one in my family was playing on any kind of instrument, they are all engineers. But I heard it and I KNEW nothing will be the same. It was actually first piece I learned to play on piano. This cello concerto I also heard as a young girl. And it marked me inside. Along with Elgar this is the best thing Jackie ever performed. Good luck with your playing! We should chase our dreams. Greetings.

hahahaha thank you very much too bad I am stumped when it comes to jazz, swinging the notes just seems out of my reach lol : (

[sumiregusa23]

Swing is great but other styles in jazz are also not in my taste. Fortunately, there is many things in music to listen to (hallelujah LOL)

she plays whith her emotions flowing into the cello and it comes out through the strings, I think her and Glenn Gould share the same feeling with music. haha im only 15 so i dont know much about music, but from what i can understand with classical music, is that to make a piece sound unique and have it diverse of other pieces is ignoring all the musical notation and play what you feel sound beautiful to you, after all people play music because they enjoy it.

[sumiregusa23]

I agree with you. Maybe you know more about music then you think : )

a beautiful piece, masterfully executed with subtle emotion and skill.  Thanks for posting.

Gruetzmacher made this movement so much better! And Jacqueline Du Pre playing it! Nothing better.

Beautifully played.

I first heard this in 1986, the host talked about Gruetzmacher and Victor Herbert? Do you know why? I can't remember
