Free Music Review: Intensely passionate - a must for every collector!
Hit: 5 Stars

This recording of the Elgar is the 2nd version made by du Pre, from 1970. It is one of the most intense readings one will ever hear. Whereas in her first recording, she fully captures the longing mood of the piece by weeping through her cello, in this recording she pierces the listener's heart by bluntly crying out what Elgar wanted to say so desperately:"It is over". I have myself sometimes been reduced to tears, as the emotional weight of this recording is too much to bear at times. It is a very highly strung recording, with maximum support from the Philadelphia Orchestra, who play with great inspiration (no doubt du Pre had a huge effect on the orchestra!). She used her then-new Peresson cello, which seems to match her iiiiiintense playing fully. One can hear some imperfections in some passages, loss of tone etc (could these have been an early signs of MS approaching?), but they are hardly noticeable. The recording quality is not the best, but it does not detract the musical quality in any way. If you do not have this recording yet, then I suggest you buy one as a matter of urgent priority. Buy it!

Jacqueline du Pré · Daniel Barenboim ~ Elgar (Pomp and Circumstance · Cello Concerto · Enigma Variations) Poster

Du Pré's EMI recording of the concerto with Barbirolli is rightly treasured for its emotional power, but it's almost buttoned-down alongside this controversial live concert performance made five years later in Philadelphia. Here, she plays with extraordinary rhythmic freedom, pushing the emotional content of the score to its outer limits. This is one of those rare recordings in which you sense a spiritual merger between composer and performer, revealing inner meanings few can perceive from the notes on the page. Partnering this exciting performance is Barenboim's excellent reading of the Enigma Variations, one of the finest in the catalog. Tempos are spacious enough to allow for much telling detail, with enough forward thrust to keep the Elgarian juices flowing. Each variation is given its own character, and the whole is suffused with warmth and authority. --Dan Davis
