JACQUELINE DU PRE

Jacqueline du Pré gave the cello a public image of intense lyric force. The English performer became especially associated with Elgar’s Cello Concerto, while her chamber work with Daniel Barenboim and others remains central to her legacy. Her brief career made Romantic expressiveness and physical sound inseparable from the modern memory of the instrument.
