 JACQUELINE DU PRÉ
Jacqueline du Pré enjoyed celebrity for 12 years between her 1961 Wigmore Hall debut in London and the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, when she was 28 years old, in 1973.

 :: INKPOT - Jacqueline Du Pre in Portrait - DVD
These same reactions remain, but have been tainted in the years interim by biographies written about Jacqueline du Pré, by a particular movie made about her (“Hilary and Jackie”) and by more exposure to recordings made by her, making it difficult to think about the great cellist in that same light.
What struck me on rewatching this was the huge amount of energy that she possessed even from a young age when playing - the way in which she threw herself, golden head of hair and all, at the instrument are a joy.
If you want to know more about du Pré and her life, much more can be found in her biographies, but this DVD allows us to watch and see for ourselves why du Pré was so beloved by audiences – you’ll never listen to her records in the same way again.

This biography of the cellist Jacqueline du Pré, who died in 1987 after a long struggle against multiple sclerosis, has been written with the full support of her husband, the musician and conductor Daniel Barenboim.
But while Barenboim does present his side of the story--in relation to both du Pré's illness and the strains it put upon their marriage--Elizabeth Wilson has in fact presented a balanced portrait of du Pré not only as a woman but also as an artist.
The classical cellist, who flourished briefly as the brightest young star in the firmament in the 1960s and early '70s, only to see her career ended before she was 30 by multiple sclerosis, still causes a stir a dozen years after her premature death.
