Elgar: Cello Concerto, Enigma Variations Jacqueline du Pré, Barenboim This is undoubtedly considered one of the finest performances by Jacqueline du Pré, a cello virtuoso who, while garnering acclaim as a brilliant female cellist, was afflicted with a serious illness and passed away at a young age. With excellent support from the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by her husband, Barenboim, du Pré fully expresses the sorrow that permeates the work. Each of the sad melodies that Elgar wrote in mourning the horrors of war overlaps with the cellist's unusual fate, moving the listener deeply.
