    I first learned of Jacqueline from Yo Yo Ma. Saw her only once, near her final stretch of performing.
    Yo Yo Ma told me years later, while hanging out in Boston's Logan Airport, that "this is Jacqueline's cello".
    I had no words. We were silent for minutes; until he finally played a somber, then happy piece.

      Is Yo Yo Ma playing on the cello that used to belong to Jacqueline? What an amazing continuity..... He is one of the few who truly deserves her cello.

      Jackie will always be the greatest cellist ever to me. I was blessed to be her friend and we wrote to each other. Every time I re-read her beautiful letters I dissolve into tears.
      I had a very intense premonition of her getting MS and dying. I wrote to her about it. She was also a very Spiritual person and saw her future. She and I just clicked. I was 17 (1967) and she was 22 at the peak of her career!
      In a dream I wanted to express love and support when I saw her feeling sad and fearing being sick and not being able to perform anymore. I was so upset by her sadness that I told her she was going to go onstage and play better than ever and I offered to go onstage with her if she would like. Years later in real life, she invited me to turn pages for Her husband Daniel Barenboim and so I DID go onstage with them! It all feels surreal now...like a dream! I am so blessed to have her as my friend. Thank you Universe!
      I later performed a special concert in her honor. I played the show on the Bonjour Stradivarius cello and I played several works including the Elgar. My Mom Elzee Newland, died a few days begore the concert and Dad died 6 weeks later. The 1,700 seat hall was sold out and the energy in the hsll was amazing. I read the audience her letters to me.
      My husband who passed Feb 19 2023 made a sound video of that Tribute concert and I posted it to share with people who like me, absolutely love her! Her playing was other-worldly! ❤

    She could be such a silly goose. She was so funny and so sweet and so kind and loving. I was blessed to have become friends with her in 1967 at age 17. We both had the same middle name...Mary. She was 22 when we met and engaged to Danny. She spoke of him during our visit in Toronto and had pictures of him all over her hotel mirror. She was also talking with him on the phone and clearly was missing him. She was like a big kid and so in love with Danny! ❤ Being five years younger than Jackie, I could not understand why she wanted to get married. Her life was so perfect. She loved hearing about my silly stories about my pets and my adventures. She sounded like she wanted the same for herself sometimes rather than her brilliant performing career. She said to me once in one of her letters, "Actually, you have a gift for enjoying life almost more than anyone I know." That was Jackie, always making you feel like you were the most important person in her life...and in that particular moment, I believe you were! She loved playing little jokes and she had the most radiantly beautiful smile and jolly laugh. She insisted I try playing her awesome Davidov Stradivari cello, that Yo Yo Ma now has. What a thrill that was. She also invited me to turn pages for her husband Daniel Barenboim, at a recital! What she did not know, was that it was my very first page-turning experience. Fortunately I could just follow the cello line above the piano part and I did not get lost. :) One of my favourite memories, is sitting on her lap in a tiny sports car when she had her driver give me a lift home after her concert here in London, Ontario. We laughed so hard! Whenever I miss her, I read her beautiful hand-written letters to me and there she is again, right in front of me, talking about life. I had a premonition about her illness and wrote to her about my dream. She addresses it in one of her letters. Even though I knew her fate, it still came as a huge crushing blow when I heard the news of her death announced on the radio, on my way to teach a morning cello lesson. I had to pull over, as I was blinded with tears. All I could see was her beautiful face glowing with appreciation for a gift I had hidden in her locker at Alumni Hall before the recital I turned pages for. You would think I had given her gold! She was so grateful and told me what a good friend I was to have done this little thing for her. Many years after Jackie died, she paid me a visit in my home. My little cottage has seen many spirits...always good ones, sharing their beautiful energy! It was that visit that inspired me to perform an all cello solo concert tribute to her memory in order to raise funds for our failing orchestra. She was concerned because I was so sad. I was given the use of the 12 million dollar bonjour Stradivari cello to perform the tribute on. My cellist Mother died a week before the concert and I put my emotions on the back burner and promoted the show. I performed the whole program for my dying parents at the nursing home weeks before the concert and put the Stradivari cello in bed with my Mom and rested her hand on it. I can only hope she was aware on some level. Mom had Parkinson's disease and my Dad had final stage Alzheimer's disease. The 1700 seats all sold out and the concert was held up a half hour getting everyone in and the most emotional concert of my entire life took place and it raised over $100,000 for our orchestra and we did not fold. Thank you Jackie. A Dutch artist created a stunning lithograph of me playing the Elgar, with Jackie's radiant spirit playing it along with me. The lithograph itself raised $18,000. I sold every one of the 42 lithographs calling people day and night. I am an artist as well and have since painted several portraits of Jackie. I miss her and I love her and I am blessed and very grateful for having met her and had this beautiful friendship. Carol Easton wrote a book about Jackie called "Jacqueline Du Pre a biography" and she quotes some of the things Jackie wrote in her letters to me. Yet another wonderful honour. The universe has a way of making some pretty amazing things happen, if your intention is pure and based on love. We are all connected in this universe and that is how such magical events unfold! Thank you so much for posting this wonderful clip. I hope it remains here for all to enjoy, for all time! ❤
    This is my concert tribute to my dear friend Jackie, that I played with our orchestra in 2000 on the Bonjour Stradivarius loaned to me for the occasion. ❤

    She reminds me of Hayley Mills with her fresh face, no make up and big smile💞
    I first heard about her about 20 years ago on the television. I was mesmerised so I didn't change channels. I remember her saying that when she was a toddler she heard the cello on the radio and asked her Mammy "What is that noise?" Her Mammy told her that it is the cello. So Jacqueline said "I don't know what that is all I know is that I'm going to learn how to play it!"
    "...and the rest" as they say "is history."
    Beautiful💖

    Jacqueline du Pré was like a supernova, a star so bright that it exploded and then faded away into the heavens. Her multiple sclerosis makes sense (not from a scientific sense, but from a visceral one) in that her senses were so heightened, that her nerves simply burned out. She poured more emotion and energy in playing one musical piece than most humans do in a decade of living. Genius often comes with such a heavy price.

      Sorry but I think this is pretentious grandstanding and unscientific twaddle. A lot of ordinary people suffer from this disease and a lot of artists don't. You say genius often comes with such a heavy price. What is your definition of genius and what percentage is 'often'? MS is not caused by hard work, just bad luck.

    Jacqueline du Pré: A complete genius. I agree with Maestro Perlman. Jackie is the owner of all the works she performed. If we listened to another version we'd immediately ask ourselves: Where is Jackie? Yesterday I listened to another version of Schubert's Trout Quintet (A. Berg group and a guest). I can only listen to that unique performance: Jacqueline in London with her husband Maestro Daniel Barenboim and her friends: All masters. People in general wouldn't understand the life of a genius who is completely devoted to music and who loves her husband with all her soul as they share the same love. Wherever Jackie is... She still loves Daniel Barenboim: Her true love who introduced this unique artist to us all. Once more she would say: "Daniel, how much I love you!!! And to her dear friends: I adore the cello, but I wouldn't have made it possible without you. Thank you!!!" That's being great as a musician and above all: as a human being.

He passed a year ago and is always sending me astound signs that he is watching over me as he promised. I belief Jackie is one of my protective angels. ❤

    Don't think I ever really appreciated the cello until I saw this. As for her, seems to me she was the Glenn Gould of that instrument - completely original, completely herself. This film is a great reminder that behind all the BS and 'sniffing snobbery' of the 'classical' realm there is a genius, a sense of humor and a devil may care commitment to the ART of music that is palpable and - above all - very moving!

    On the surface we're familiar with savants and their uncanny abilities, but equally disconnected from the world. And yet she did not seem to be a savant as noted in her giving qualities and exuberant social sharing. She knew what she was doing at all times and that gift she gave to others helped her maintain that spirit that cannot easily be explained. She was from others before, that much we can hear. I'm grateful she recorded what she did because the world is in dire need of the arts and she was a master to unlock the secrets that often elude us.

Jackie and I talked about it in our letters. I had a premonition that upset me terribly. I love her so much. I was so blessed by her friendship ❤

      Jackie will always be the greatest cellist ever to me. I was blessed to be her friend and we wrote to each other. Every time I re-read her beautiful letters I dissolve into tears.
      I had a very intense premonition of her getting MS and dying. I wrote to her about it. She was also a very Spiritual person and saw her future. She and I just clicked. I was 17 (1967) and she was 22 at the peak of her career!
      In a dream I wanted to express love and support when I saw her feeling sad and fearing being sick and not being able to perform anymore. I was so upset by her sadness that I told her she was going to go onstage and play better than ever and I offered to go onstage with her if she would like. Years later in real life, she invited me to turn pages for Her husband Daniel Barenboim and so I DID go onstage with them! It all feels surreal now...like a dream! I am so blessed to have her as my friend. Thank you Universe!
      I later performed a special concert in her honor. I played the show on the Bonjour Stradivarius cello and I played several works including the Elgar. My Mom Elzee Newland, died a few days begore the concert and Dad died 6 weeks later. The 1,700 seat hall was sold out and the energy in the hsll was amazing. I read the audience her letters to me.
      My husband who passed Feb 19 2023 made a sound video of that Tribute concert and I posted it to share with people who like me, absolutely love her! Her playing was other-worldly! ❤

    Thank you for this exquisite and touching tribute to Jacqui and those fine musicians who were so much part of her life.This brilliant jewel of a cellist and person was my greatest musical influence. Her enthusiasm and sheer delight at life and music remains inspirational. In his youth, my cello lecturer sat next to her at second desk in the International Youth Orchestra. And then this year 2020 I had the pleasure of hearing her Stradivarius played by Yo Yo Ma in Kirstenbosch Gardens in Cape Town. Maybe not Jacqui’s rich sonority but exquisite nonetheless.

    Her death at such an early age from this insidious disease lends a heavy dose of pathos to some of the pieces she played and the way she played them. She faced her illness with grace and courage and I guess a certain amount of fatalism. Imagine becoming so ill that you could no longer pursue your passion, could no longer do what for so long gave you a sense of who you were.

What astounded me was her absolute unity with the instrument and incredible effortlessness she played with. I've watched all her performances, her heart - warming and tragic life stories and since then she is in my heart forever! I am a pianist myself and the "screeching cello" never was my favorate among others. But this Sunshine girl.with a radiant smile, made me enjoying every sound of the cello she played on And, now I can listen only her incomparable cello performances.Jacqueline, I, would say, breathed life into her cello -- infused it, with her contagious passion, her indomitable energy and with her "Joie de vivre", as the French say. Thank you for your wonderful tribute to Jacqueline -- beautiful, loving and beloved young girl immensly talented --- brilliant cellist!
