Listeners may be interested to learn that Elgar was inspired to write the opening gently undulating melody by the Malvern hills which were the backdrop to his childhood and life. He was greatly inspired by the English landscape and the simple Victorian country life of his childhood. He once said "I am still that child laying by the side of the (Severn) river, trying to capture the sounds and longing for something great". Elgar was both deeply Christian and deeply humble, always deprecating and almost insecure in his incredible talent. What a great man he was! A visionary in every sense.
My birthmother was a concert cellist. I did not know this until I was 38 years old. I was adopted as a baby after living in foster care for a few months. When I first heard Du Pre I was almost sick with emotion. I became obsessed with DuPre and the cello even though I am a horn player. This was years before I found out about my birthmother. I wrote a book about this called We are all Human Beings/An Adoptee Ponders.
An interesting story, Paul. I too am an adoptee (1943), and my birth mother was musically gifted - church organist, had her letters, etc. She instructed that my parents brought me up to be musical, and when little my parents encouraged this. My Father (adopted), was also musical and a church organist, piano teacher! I have always loved classical music, learned to play the piano, wanted to play the violin, but my Father said I had enough with the piano. WhenIi traced Ivy, I realised my love of music was partly from my parents' encouragement, and partly from her. We holidayed near Elgar's museum some years ago, a wonderful experience. He and Chopin are my two favourite composers. Best wishes, Susan.
If your mother was a concert cellist, no doubt she was practicing while carrying you.... I couldn't even imagine how deep that would become a part of you... no wonder it affected you so strongly later. Wow.
When I first heard jaquline du pre on the radio I fell inlove with the cello so I asked my mom to rent me a cello and she did so ever since I was 13 years old I played the cello I’m currently 40 years old and my 4 year old daughter who has a birthday June 26 th is now learning the cello
This recording by Jacqueline Du Pré, made when she was barely 20 years old, exploded her international career. Her interpretation of the Elgar Concerto is incredibly musical, instinctive, with a cello that springs from the depths of her soul. An unbelievably mature playing... Delius's concerto from the same year is also worth listening to. It is of the same quality... The English are in the spotlight!
Yes! British music have allways be my heartfelt favorits. Elgar, R.Vaughan Williams pastoral symphony. In memmoriam to all the fallen british troops in World War 1. Arnol Bax, tonepoems, novemberwoods, Hamilton Harty, children of Lair, an Irish Rapsody.... and this recording is fantastic beatyfull with Chacqueline du Pre'. She had the musik in her soul and heart!!! This purely magnifique!!! Du Pre' have allways been my favorit chellist!! She lived music.... brautyfull!!!
I never knew her but her exquisite rendering of Elgar's magical concerto makes my heart ache every time. God bless you Jacqueline, your sublime talent lives on x
I was lucky enough to see her perform the Elgar in Houston about 1970. The hottest fiddler of the 20th century. Absolute fire! An angel on Angel Records.
These are two masterpieces composed by two fabulous and contemporary English musicians whose music touches us deeply, with unforgettable periods of lyricism among others with superb musical liveliness. They are two of the greatest musical poets who ever lived in UK. Jacqueline Du Pré’s is one of the greatest and best cellist that ever existed, due to the sensitivity, technique and virtuosity she puts in the music she plays and magic and sublime sound she extracts from the cello. These were possibly one of the best interpretations I’ve heard so far. The orchestra’s direction and its performance are magnificent. Thanks for this fantastic recording that provide moments of great and deep pleasure.
Have loved and been thrilled by this performance ever since first hearing it many years ago. Still have the old CD. This new mastering brings forth all the same wonder and emotions. I truly loved hearing Jacqueline play, and have never heard a cellist even remotely as great as she was. My heart still aches for her lonely years while she lay dying, hidden from the world. Thank you for sharing this new mastering of the Elgar with us. The Delius I will leave for a later time.
One of my favorite recordings, ever! I knew little of Elgar, the composer, until many years ago when I heard this young woman open my ears to the majesty of Cello playing in this magnificent concerto. And, as recordings and remastering efforts improved, I was liking and enjoying this recording more and more. What a great composer, and what a great musical gift was to have cellist Du Pré among us, even if for the short span of her life.
L'attaque du premier mouvement sous les doigts de cette merveilleuse artiste est tout simplement... *incomparable* ; elle avait une présence et un sens du tragique, exceptionnels.
Hermosísimo. Tan bello que duele. Se puede morir uno oyendo esa belleza. Ese violoncello es, para mí el mejor. Aletea y se mueve sacudido por el éxtasis de su propia perfección. Benditos sean los músicos que nos dan estos regalos.
@@maxxevv3328 Agree but only on CD or Streamed, because EMI did not feel able to risk the whole Album on this then relatively unknown artist, so they turned the volume down so they could fit on one side and use the other side for a collection of Elgars songs by a more "saleable" artist. The result is that you get excessive surface noise.
She's a real reference... But there're many good cellists in the world. Now, I'm listening to Portland's cellist Heather Woods Broderick. She's an excellent musician
A wonderfully committed and authentic performance. Her personality seems to be so closely attuned to the music, it's hard to listen to anyone else performing it, however good, without thinking of her.
What a marvellous upload :Jacqueline Du Pré and Sir John Barbirolli in that fabulous Elgar concerto. The first time I hear Jacqueline Du Pré in Delius' cello concerto. So many thanks for this wonderful gift.
Wundeschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieser beiden britischen und perfekt komponierten Konzerte mit mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton des unvergleichlichen Solocellos sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Die erfahrenen und ebenso unvergleichlichen Dirigenten leiten die beiden ausgezeichneten Orchester im überzeugenden Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Wahrlich wertvolle Aufnahme!
Superbe ! Un morceau de choix exprimant la mélancolie dans une rage affirmée par l'ensemble orchestral et soulignant par contraste ce cri, qui ne désir que la joie ! Je ne connaissais pas ce compositeur ! Merci pour cette découverte !
"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"💞😘💞😘💞😘💞😘
Yes, but how do you not carry your past into the present and future? Since we are our past? Anyone who can solve this problem is the existentialist Einstein.
Jacqueline Du Pre - I'm in love. Or is it deep admiration, and full response to what you are expressing? When I first heard and saw your performance of the Elgar concerto, it was on television. I could not take my eyes off the video. I felt my whole being responding to the music. I was, simply, mesmerised.Jacqeline De Pre, you were, you are, the epitome of Woman. There are not a few very good musicians. YOU were one which appears in this world once in 500 years.
Harley Lovegrove reminded me of this recording today! My first wife was a cellist and this record went with her when we parted company in 1972. Definitely in my top 10 favourite recordings of all time. Became reacquainted with it through streaming on Tidal.
what a tragedy for herself and for us.....she was an authentic artist....she was the music....i didn't know the concerto of Elgar but it was a revelation to listen to with her.... what a pity !! what a suffering for herself...difficult to imagine.....
Good thing you've heard it from her first, she has one of the best interpretations of the Elgar. I also recommend this recording: ua-cam.com/video/OPhkZW_jwc0/v-deo.html Sadly the audio is not as clear as this one but it's also a very emotional recording.
La prematura scomparsa della Duprè ha privato la musica di un artista sensitiva elegante nelle sue esecuzioni..e questa ne è una commovente conferma ..
Interesting contrast to Elgar's own recording, sometimes the composer doesn't realize the full potential of his own notes. Reminds me of those Ella Fitzgerald songbooks that certainly lifted popular music into another sphere
There is a misterious power, but also an urgency in her art, as if somehow, she knew that her time in this life was soon to be cut by fate, it is as if it all made her music even more powerful - the urgency! So sad... :(
OMG, I did not know this tragic story. Googleing "MS and vitamin d" (without quotes) might prevent such tragic developments in the future. Preventive medicine is shamefully still in its infancy and this stagnancy sometimes hits the very best of us. Thank you for the music!
I don’t know about the recording as such, but certainly the entire orchestral performance is better than in the Barenboim rendering. Jacqueline’s cello magical and powerful, as ever.
This recording literally made this concerto an essential part of the cello repertoire. And it's done by someone who was barely 20. 8 years later, she never performed ever again. What a loss to music. Imagine what she could have been if she reached her prime cellist years around 30-50.
Watched Harvey's video on her earlier recording with John Barbirolli on the Pearl Acoustics channel recently, he explains that you should avoid the original vinyl pressing as EMI were not willing to risk a whole album on this then unknown artist, so reduced the volume so they could fit it all on oneside and use the other for some Elgar songs my more widely known artist. The result is that you then get excessive surface noise as you are forced to turn up the volume. Video is here - ua-cam.com/video/ta0Xkw6yj3Q/v-deo.html
Once heard, any other rendition becomes unbearable. "No, no , NO, not like THAT!!! Why can't you do it as du Pre did it???" Clearly because nobody else even comes close to her genius.
I know Jacqueline was an elite but I wondered what it was in her playing that was so special. I don't know about cello as far as great technique and sound as I play guitar and piano so I only know only about these instruments. What was it in Jacqueline's playing that made her so loved and admired? Of course I know she sounds amazing but not understanding the finer details about her virtuosity.
Just listen. Take long breaks, then listen again. The finer details come with time - they can't be rushed. For me the clue lies simply in how she joins two notes together. Never in an 'ordinary' way, but extremely well thought-out, and practised, practised, practised. It's like the way Pavarotti prepares one of his high notes. He doesn't just land on it, but he finds the best possible way of negotiating to it from the note in front, so that it will move our hearts. First hearing, "Very nice." Third hearing, "Beautiful!" Twenty-fourth hearing, "I can't speak..." Then she does the same with the complete phrases so that they build upon each other, and, finally, the whole piece makes one compelling statement.
I don't know about "launching" her career - it was doing very nicely and had been for some years before this recording was made. I heard her first Festival Hall performance of the Elgar, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rudolf Schwarz, and there was no doubt about how good she was from the first bar. Barbirolli, a cellist himself, and an astonishingly good accompanist who by then regularly turned down proposals to conduct for soloists on disc (including the likes of Heifetz) had himself been a soloist in early performances of the Elgar, a work which didn't have great immediate success. As for emotion - well,. the same criticisms had been made of the Casals recording. He was also accused of over-emphasising the first note of the each of the rocking pharses which make up the first theme of the main part of the first movement, which links the work to the Second Symphony and "Falstaff" - of which Barbirolli made famous recordings in which he does exactly that, and was never criticised for it. Elgar was a touchy, difficult man who these days might be getting into all sorts of celebrity traps, but nobody ever suggested he wasn't emotional.
Thank you for your message. She was already a confirmed artist but this record was the foundation stone of a long and beautiful discography and allowed to establish definitively her fame.
Nobody plays the Elgar with the passion of Du Pre. When she played, she emanated an unforgettable radiance. As a teenager, I first saw her in a PBS broadcast of Schubert's Trout Quintet. In a all-star ensemble of Perlman, Zuckerman, Baremboim, and Mehta, she stood out. I couldn't take my eyes off her.
There is a strong contrast between these two recordings: the quality of the magnificent concert by Sir Elgar only improves in this legendary recording by the brilliant Du Pré with the master Barbirolli, while the concerto by Delius, as talented as Du Pré and Sargent are, reaches even less than half of what its predecessor achieved, it's completely forgettable.
They've interrupted on every movement, 2 or 3 times! It's impossible to listen to. Capitalism trampling on the sacred - what's new? Just a new territory of abuse. And - I have ad block!

Jacqueline is absolutely the most interesting cellist to listen to. One never tires of hearing her play.

This recording is by far much better that the recording she made later with Daniel Barenboim...
Because Barbirolli and Beecham understood Delius.
I don’t know about the recording as such, but certainly the entire orchestral performance is better than in the Barenboim rendering. Jacqueline’s cello magical and powerful, as ever.
@@sheilanovitz8578 I agree with you
I _strongly_ disagree! The ~1967 w/D.B. is the _ne plus ultra_ of the Elgar, the defining performance.
Thank you.
August Rush brought me here. What a fantastic music!
Merveilleux !
Maravillosa gracias por compartirla
Top. Thank you.
This recording literally made this concerto an essential part of the cello repertoire. And it's done by someone who was barely 20. 8 years later, she never performed ever again. What a loss to music. Imagine what she could have been if she reached her prime cellist years around 30-50.
Watched Harvey's video on her earlier recording with John Barbirolli on the Pearl Acoustics channel recently, he explains that you should avoid the original vinyl pressing as EMI were not willing to risk a whole album on this then unknown artist, so reduced the volume so they could fit it all on oneside and use the other for some Elgar songs my more widely known artist. The result is that you then get excessive surface noise as you are forced to turn up the volume.

Il concerto di Elgar e' così bello anche xché lo suona Jacqueline du
Pre' la mia violoncellista preferita. Non dimenticatela!
Merci.
Sir John Barbirolli played as a rank-and-file cellist in the London Symphony Orchestra in 1919 in the first performance of the concerto.
Perfect!
Once heard, any other rendition becomes unbearable.
"No, no , NO, not like THAT!!! Why can't you do it as du Pre did it???"
Clearly because nobody else even comes close to her genius.
For me, not unbearable, but uninteresting.
@@NoName-zn1sb Agree. And I'm a non-musician.
Wonderful!
Jacqueline Du Pré is a name of a very beautiful wing of a rare angel !!
Rest in peace immortal Jacqueline du Pré.
Recording of the century? Have to be up there.
Unica!!!!
Sublime
Bello
Timeless!

I will be the luckiest ever, if I were nothing '' non-existent '' !!!!! 🌹❤💔
I know Jacqueline was an elite but I wondered what it was in her playing that was so special. I don't know about cello as far as great technique and sound as I play guitar and piano so I only know only about these instruments. What was it in Jacqueline's playing that made her so loved and admired? Of course I know she sounds amazing but not understanding the finer details about her virtuosity.
Just listen. Take long breaks, then listen again. The finer details come with time - they can't be rushed. For me the clue lies simply in how she joins two notes together. Never in an 'ordinary' way, but extremely well thought-out, and practised, practised, practised. It's like the way Pavarotti prepares one of his high notes. He doesn't just land on it, but he finds the best possible way of negotiating to it from the note in front, so that it will move our hearts. First hearing, "Very nice." Third hearing, "Beautiful!" Twenty-fourth hearing, "I can't speak..." Then she does the same with the complete phrases so that they build upon each other, and, finally, the whole piece makes one compelling statement.
Magnificent recordings. But it is a shame to put so much ads in the middle of beautiful works, that don't even belong to you

I don't know about "launching" her career - it was doing very nicely and had been for some years before this recording was made. I heard her first Festival Hall performance of the Elgar, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rudolf Schwarz, and there was no doubt about how good she was from the first bar. Barbirolli, a cellist himself, and an astonishingly good accompanist who by then regularly turned down proposals to conduct for soloists on disc (including the likes of Heifetz) had himself been a soloist in early performances of the Elgar, a work which didn't have great immediate success. As for emotion - well,. the same criticisms had been made of the Casals recording. He was also accused of over-emphasising the first note of the each of the rocking pharses which make up the first theme of the main part of the first movement, which links the work to the Second Symphony and "Falstaff" - of which Barbirolli made famous recordings in which he does exactly that, and was never criticised for it. Elgar was a touchy, difficult man who these days might be getting into all sorts of celebrity traps, but nobody ever suggested he wasn't emotional.
Thank you for your message. She was already a confirmed artist but this record was the foundation stone of a long and beautiful discography and allowed to establish definitively her fame.
gooooood
Hermosl
Nobody plays the Elgar with the passion of Du Pre. When she played, she emanated an unforgettable radiance.
As a teenager, I first saw her in a PBS broadcast of Schubert's Trout Quintet. In a all-star ensemble of Perlman, Zuckerman, Baremboim, and Mehta, she stood out. I couldn't take my eyes off her.
Jacqueline Genial!!!!!!!!!
The best to do it..
😍
too many commercials . I counted at least 6. I will boycott them all for violating Elgar

At least wait for the end of each movement. Vandals and peasants!

There is a strong contrast between these two recordings: the quality of the magnificent concert by Sir Elgar only improves in this legendary recording by the brilliant Du Pré with the master Barbirolli, while the concerto by Delius, as talented as Du Pré and Sargent are, reaches even less than half of what its predecessor achieved, it's completely forgettable.

Putting ads over this is a crime!
They've interrupted on every movement, 2 or 3 times! It's impossible to listen to. Capitalism trampling on the sacred - what's new? Just a new territory of abuse. And - I have ad block!
I love you. 편안한 안시처가 되시길 진정 바람니다! From Korea kyu- sang lim ,병이 그림자 처럼 따라붙은 것 같읍니다?

Thumbs down- ad in the MIDDLE OF THE FIRST MOVEMENT??
