Free Music Notes for Elgar: Cello Concerto & Sea Pictures; Jacqueline Du Pre
Free Music Review: no need for more versions
Hit: 5 Stars
I have throughout the years been keeping on buying newer versions of many classical masterpieces, in the hope that I can find even better versions of the work concerned, as great music is " better than it can ever be played ". However, there is no need for Elgar's cello concerto because du Pre played it to perfection. There is absolutely no other way to play it as convinvingly or more importantly, as movingly as she did.
Elgar: Cello Concerto & Sea Pictures; Jacqueline Du Pre Poster
This is rightly regarded as the finest recording of Elgar's attractive and elegiac Cello Concerto. It's held in almost irrationally high esteem in the UK, largely because of the universal affection for Jacqueline Du Pr?, the wife of Daniel Barenboim, whose early death from multiple sclerosis cut short what would have been a stellar career. This disc is equally noteworthy for Janet Baker's magnificent singing of the Sea Pictures, the composer's only orchestral song cycle. It's not Elgar's fault if the tune of the last song sounds like an excessively inflated version of "Hello, Dolly!" A classic then, even if neither work is a raging masterpiece. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
