Absolutely brilliant
This is a wonderful example of cello playing...actually, this is the way the cello should be played! Du Pre is just brilliant here, the sound is vibrant and alive, at times very bold and passionate, and then quiet and tender. I think that this is probably better than the Yo-YO Ma version, she doesn't sound so rushed, she really takes the time to feel each note and chord and give it life. This has to be the best recording of the Dvorak anywhere.
vibrant
du pre did a great job on this recording. as soon as her bow first touches the strings...no....as soon as you hear her breathe BEFORE her bow touches the strings-this recording comes alive. for listeners who are aquainted with the playing style of jacquline du pre-you can almost see her moving while she plays if you close your eyes. i love this cd!
So alive
This music goes beyond notes on a page. The Adagio of the Haydn was the reason I bought this CD, and it almost makes me cry every time I hear it. It's not performed, it's lived. It sounds like the cello's singing rather than being played. You'll forget you're listening to a recording.
