 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Though, in her tragically short career, Jacqueline du Pré recorded a very wide range of the cello repertory, her studio recording of the greatest of all cello concertos, Dvorak's, sadly falls short of her finest work - partly through unhelpful recording that failed to convey the glory of her sound. Now on the BBC Legends label comes a live broadcast recording, made in July 1969 at the Proms, which thrillingly captures her astonishing range of expression and tone-colour. While the studio version is effortful, with Du Pré's highly individual expressive pointing too heavily underlined, in the Proms performance her natural freedom sounds spontaneous and persuasive, bringing out a poignancy in the work that tugs at the heart. The lightweight Ibert concerto, recorded in 1962, with the cello the first among many soloists, makes a welcome coupling, a work that Du Pré never recorded elsewhere.

-- Edward Greenfield, The Guardian, London
