Description
Jacqueline du Pré’s extraordinary career was cut cruelly short by illness in 1973 when she was only 28 years old. When she died 14 years later, she remained as vibrant a figure in the public mind as she had been at the pinnacle of her career. Award-winning film maker
Christopher Nupen succeeded in capturing the spirit of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century in his classic documentary (restored and digitally re-mastered for DVD), Jacqueline du Pré and the Elgar Cello Concerto. This DVD portrait also offers Nupen’s film The Ghost, featuring a performance of Beethoven's Piano Trio No. 5.
