Jacqueline du Pre: A Gift Beyond Words

This episode is locked. New translations may be added.

Jacqueline du Pre was one of the most excellent performing musicians that Britain has ever produced. She stopped playing cello at the age of 28, a victim of multiple sclerosis, and she died at 42 on 19 October 1987. This film, compiled by Christopher Nupen from the five prize-winning films he made during her lifetime, pays tribute to her on the 30th anniversary of her death. I am that the video of this concert still exists. Jacqueline du Pre had a very, very special relationship with the Dvorak Cello Concerto, and just adored playing it.".
