  JACQUELINE DU PRE's extraordinary career was cut cruelly short by illness in 1973 when she was only 28 years old. When she died 14 years later she remained as vibrant a figure in the public mind as she had been at the pinnacle of her career. Award winning film-maker Christopher Nupen succeeded in capturing the spirit of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century in his classic documentary JACQUELINE DU PRE and the Elgar Cello Concerto (here restored and digitally re-mastered). This DVD portrait also offers Nupen's film The Ghost featuring a performance of Beethoven's Piano Trio No. 5.Full Performances:Elgar: Cello Concerto in E minor Op. 85 - with Daniel Barenboim conducting the New Philharmonia Orchestra.Beethoven: Piano Trio No. 5 in D major Op. 70 No. 1 (The Ghost) - with Daniel Barenboim (piano) and Pinchas Zukerman (violin).

  The Trout is an exuberant explosion of youthful enjoyment in music: first from Schubert himself who wrote his famous Trout quintet when he was 22 years old and then from five young artists of the highest rank. They pick up the spirit of Schubert's music magnificently both in preparation and rehearsal and in their 1969 performance of the work which has become one of the most remembered ever given.The Greatest Love and the Greatest Sorrow is a film which sets out to bring the viewer closer not to the details of Schubert's life but to the spirit of what he was trying to express with what he called his creative gift and with which he tried to brighten the world. The film begins with the funeral of Beethoven at which Schubert was a torch-bearer and the story is told almost entirely in music that Schubert wrote in the twenty months that remained to him after that date together with quotations from his letters and diaries and the words that he chose to set in some of his songs.

• Jacqueline Du Pre - Remembering Jacqueline Du Pre | DVD | (06/09/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Jacqueline Dr Pre was an artist with an exuberant personality and seemingly infinite talent who already in her youth was recognised as one of the finest cellists of the century. It is a tragedy that her career was cut short when she was 28 years old. She died in 1987 as the age of 42. This film directed by Christopher Nupen and now available on DVD for the first time contains previously unpublished footage that is at once inspiring and intimately revealing - you can see the musician her friends knew and how spontaneous and natural was her response to the music. The film also contains landmark performances of great music including an excerpt from her memorable performance of Elgar's Cello Concerto.
