 | Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann [Read More ...]
Description: During her far-too-brief career, cellist Jacqueline du Pré exhibited an almost oracular power of communication. Her performances bristled with the kind of brilliant electricity that could change lives and convert listeners to a lifelong love of music. Happily, it's possible to e... |

A little behind Perahia and Ashkenazy:Danny B. is good, especially on the big ones like the 25 and 26. He isn't as poetic as Murray or as flashy as Vlad but steady never-the-less.
The ECO shows some slack playing at times which belies their consistency for Perahia and Ashkenazy. |

Description: Although most of this set is devoted to major cello concertos (Elgar, Saint-Saëns, Dvorák, Schumann, Haydn) that Du Pré played so well, perhaps the most treasurable recording is one of two Beethoven cello sonatas with the pianist Stephen Bishop (Kovacevich). Recorded very e... |

Review: The fallen angel of the cello!:
This year, Jacqueline du Prè should be it her 62, but as you know the cruel fate was a undesirable barrier that took over the world one of the maxim exponents of this instrument.

Review: An instrument with more than thousand years of existence!:In spite of the fact the harp is possibly the oldest musical instrument, its sonorities are unlimited. In the XIX Century, the French and Russian composers took into account it. Curiously, Carl Reineceke showed an unusual ... |

Review: Mish Mash:While I like this sort of recording I bought it only because it was quite cheap in the used section. It has some very interesting moments, but of course is little more than a "sampler" if you will, and one that is too stuffed with a variety performers that don't necess... |

Review: Highly Recommended.:I am glad to see that this set is popular with Amazon reviewers, since it has been overlooked and underrated over the years. Perahia seems to get all the critical attention.
There seems to be a consensus that since Ashkenazy recorded so much, his work could... |
