DVD Reviews of Jacqueline du Pre In Portrait
DVD Review: A Treasure for Any Music Collection
Summary: 5 Stars
Jacqueline du Pre was a supremely gifted artist, and the music, combined with the story of her life, as presented in this DVD, is a real treasure. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased multiple copies so that I could share it with my family.DVD Review: Heartfelt
Summary: 5 Stars
Jackie Du Pre's life was the epitome of the irony of our human existence on this planet earth. How could anyone once given such an unlimited potential and then be taken away from it so quickly (in the form of multiple sclerosis)? Should we be grateful for the glimpse of divine splendor or should we lament our powerlessness in front of the nature's cruelty?
Watching this video, I couldn't help but shedding tears for her fearless beauty, her sensual nobleness, and her childlike innocence. Some segments give you heartaches for that unsolvable irony. The performance of Elgar concerto takes the second half of the video and it is even better than her celebrated recording with Sir John Barbirolli.
Talk is cheap. You've got to experience it!
DVD Review: Jacqueline du Pre
Summary: 5 Stars
In addition to the high-quality recordings of some of Jacqueline du Pre's best performances on six CD's (Les Introuvables), which I had ordered, a unexpected bonus was sent in advance, i.e the DVD (Jacqueline du Pre in Portrait) containing personal excerpts from performances, discussions and classes. All in all, a positive experience, and good quality.DVD Review: Jacqueline du Pre In Portrait
Summary: 5 Stars
A great, great DVD, bringing her to life. We have watched it over and over. The "Ghost" extra is just wonderful.DVD Review: Jacqueline Du Pr?: La m?sica del Cielo
Summary: 5 Stars
Este es un DVD excelente para todos los que aman la M?sica con may?sculas, sobre la m?s grande int?rprete de cello. M?sica interpretada de una forma casi no-humana, algo m?s hab?a en esta mujer incre?ble.
La filmaci?n del concierto de Elgar es absolutamente antol?gica y los reportajes de Nupen son esclarecedores e imprescindibles. Un dvd altamente recomendable.
Description of Jacqueline du Pre In Portrait
The subject of the 1998 film "Hilary and Jackie" and gracing the cover of the August 2004 issue of Gramophone Magazine, the cellist Jacqueline du Pr? remains as vibrant a figure in the public mind as she had been at the pinnacle of her career - before it was cruelly short by illness in 1973 when she was only 28 years old. The tragedy of her death is still felt by people all over the world, because this great cellist had ways of touching the heart that are given to very, very few.Jacqueline du Pr? and the Elgar Cello Concerto, a documentary by award-winning film maker Christopher Nupen, explores the artistic personality of one of the finest performing musicians of the twentieth century, with the recurring theme of her special relationship with the Elgar's melancholy Cello Concerto. The film begins with an account of what she did after the onset of her illness when she could no longer perform in public. It ends, at her own request, with a re-edited version of the original portrait film which sketches her childhood and the development of her musical talent, her meeting with Daniel Barenboim and their marriage in 1967, her special relationship with the Elgar concerto and, finally, a complete performance of the work with The New Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim; a performance which has become legendary.
This DVD portrait also includes Nupen's film The Ghost, which features a performance of Beethoven's Piano Trio No. 5. This is the first in a series of Christopher Nupen films on DVD.
Future titles will include Schubert's The Trout with Jacqueline du Pr? and Andr?s Segovia in Portrait.
