There was a TV documentary about Jacqueline Du Pré reshown quite a few years ago. I think I have it on video cassette somewhere. It was immensely powerful, but what I remember best, oddly, was an impromptu "piano four hands" with Barenboim, the two of them playing a well known lively Mozart piece together on a single piano. They're fooling about & it was just for fun while taking a break between serious stuff, but an absolute joy to watch, so full of life and laughter.
Jaqueline du Pre died of multiple sclerosis. She was forced to stop playing the cello at age 28, and she died of the illness at age 42. She was one of the most famous cellists of her time, maybe of all time. As a cellist myself, she will always be one of my great inspirations. May God Bless her.
Has everybody here seen this? : "Jacqueline du Pre and Daniel Barenboim - Informal" on RUclips.Shows how full of life she was and how much she loved music. A beautiful lady with a wonderful talent.
Just watched the movie "Hilary and Jackie". So sad...I think at that level of one's mastery, it's really a tricky business to maintain the harmony between professional and personal minds. The last decade of her life must be so difficult.
I also watched that movie, Hilary and Jackie, and it is terrible. It never once showed Jacqueline Du Pre teaching, something she dedicated her life to after she was no longer able to perform, right up until she was no longer able to talk. She didn't just sit around feeling sorry for herself, as portrayed in the movie, but made an enormous contribution to a whole generation of cellists who studied with her. She also made a special edition of the Elgar concerto, with all of her bowings and expression marks. Have a look at this clip showing her teaching: ruclips.net/video/4KOOOoJ1yec/видео.htmlsi=dJDRu1dWHK6Il-t8 and this interview with her when she was about 39 (3 years before her death), and no longer even able to read, due to MS. (The interview is in English, with Spanish subtitles). ruclips.net/video/MVd-qFWaWeQ/видео.htmlsi=_46zkKxplMZBfip_
Being ripped mercilessly of such of a strong passion and a deep love for something sounds like one of the most brutal and heart wrenching thing anybody could have to go through.
Actually, if I am accurate, this time, Jacqueline is in The Golders Green Crematorium side which is secular and accepts all faiths and non-believers. It is directly opposite the Golders Green Jewish Cemetery.....

What a shame. To have talent like that...and to have it shut away from you by a disease. It's nothing to die, we'll all do that. But to be talented, then stripped of that talent that gives such joy...... That's suffering.

Drs didn't understand about multiple Sclerosis then. I remember her . I remember the day she died. Way before Hilary and Jackie was Jacqueline Dupre on the radio esp the Elgar concerto.
I'd love to be able to see the documentary that you're talking about, any chances to post it?? I just became a huge admirer of this stunning talent, Thank you

I have got MS and I play the piano. Luckily nowadays, we have got means to stabilize my form of MS. And luckily too, I play the piano, and not the cello or the violin that requires strength in the arm playing the piano with MS is somewhat manageable to some extent 😅.
I'd like to have a go, but at the moment have no easy way of either getting the VHS into digital format, or a PC with a fast enough processor to deal with video editing (mine's pretty ancient now. A bit behind the times here, unfortunately!)
God gave selected people special talents, which make the ordinary people become in awe of them and, sometimes, become jealous of them. But then they are taken away so soon as if God is being indiscreet about who is talented or not, rich or poor, or deceitful or not.
Probably one of the greatest cellists of the 20th Century, She was married to Daniel Barenboim (Legendary Pianist-Conductor) but her career was cut short because of multiple schlerosis
To me the most unique cellist my ears have ever heard , I know others would say thats out spoken , but I'll stick with what my ears tell me .
That was some sick talent! RIP beautiful soul.
All great souls are taken way too fast. Rest in peace angel

So sad. But then often the greatest and most lovely people are often "called" early

So much talent, and having to stop in her prime. What a tragedy.
who could dislike this video?!!! She was adorable and so ultra talented. what a sad tragedy.
Thanks for the information; I discovered her but a few years ago and am sad at what I missed.
26-1-45 to 19-10-87......42 years.R.I.P my sweet.x
Bellissimo e stata una grande artista....

just visited her grave today at The Jewish Cemetary in Golders Green,North London.
Yes I intend to do that on my next visit to the UK. Greetings from Australia.
She as Jewish?
@@afonsodeportugal Well she converted when she got together with Barenboim. So, not racially but religiously, yet.

So right he is.
Прекрасная игра!

0:35 what is the piece called?
Does anybody now what pieces she was playing at 0:37 and 0:50?
Piano Trio 'Ghost' Beethoven
I have got MS and I play the piano. Luckily nowadays, we have got means to stabilize my form of MS. And luckily too, I play the piano, and not the cello or the violin that requires strength in the arm playing the piano with MS is somewhat manageable to some extent 😅.
Thats Beethoven's 'ghost' Piano trio
I have Multiple Sclerosis. I understand this.
How are you doing?
I don't think so...
I'd like to have a go, but at the moment have no easy way of either getting the VHS into digital format, or a PC with a fast enough processor to deal with video editing (mine's pretty ancient now. A bit behind the times here, unfortunately!)
Is that Daniel Barenboim, her former husband, narrating?
No that’s not him
God gave selected people special talents, which make the ordinary people become in awe of them and, sometimes, become jealous of them. But then they are taken away so soon as if God is being indiscreet about who is talented or not, rich or poor, or deceitful or not.
First i think of is ADD or ADHD…
I don't get it! What did she die of? What was wrong with her? was she a famous muiscan? She seems normal to me.
She died of multiple sclerosis.
Probably one of the greatest cellists of the 20th Century, She was married to Daniel Barenboim (Legendary Pianist-Conductor) but her career was cut short because of multiple schlerosis
She died of multiple sclerosis, which forced her to stop playing when she was just 28. She was one of the greatest cellists of all time. Look her up.
