oh my goodness. I just started this piece and have become absolutely obsessed with it. Jackie's version is obviously my favorite. But I wouldn't have heard it for a while unless you posted this video, so THANK YOU SO MUCH. This brought me to tears... du Pre does that like nobody else can.

you could not have put this up a better time, though theres a few different people playing it here and some of them are really good, like cestari, but to hear this in the context of du pre is perfect. im playing this in my third semester uni exam on tuesday, inspiring to hear this now to say the least - not that im gonna slide around like she does but still.

you are awesome...... thankyou

so are Jacqueline

[sumiregusa23]

Thank you very much : ) I'm glad I have a good timing then. Goodluck with your exam *fingers crossed*

Jacqueline Du Pre...worth more than a billion Barenboims. Her early demise was a terrible loss to all music lovers. I first heard Du Pre when I was about 15. I've loved her ever since.

Inspiring. I don't have the chance to learn to play the cello but I wish I had.

The beginning of the piece and the cello of jacqueline at this moment is just like the voice I would like to hear some seconds after my death .

@aefields16 Your comment of two years ago expresses exactly my feeling about this performance. Jacqui was truly special, like a goddess come to tell us how to feel, how to touch. This is one of the three or four best I have ever heard of hers. It is almost as though she presaged her debilitating disease by expressing super-exquisitely her most profound relationship with the music before the day. Thanks so much for the comment- even two years hence. PJT

thank you , mr.semiregusa . why am I just crying at every recording of Jacqueline du Pré you are giving to us ? Thank you ...

[nutmeg42]

@Noshirm Yes, and such an awful death she suffered. Life is sometimes so unkind. Selfishly, at least we can say we have her recordings.

One of the, if not the best Cello virtuoso's ever to play.
