Jacqueline du Pré in Portrait (2004)

On DVD at last, the wonderful portrait of a great cellist, plus superb music-making

A re-release of two of Christopher Nupen's most cherished Jacqueline du Pré films. The first is a portrait film which was epoch-making when it premiered; the second is a performance film which was described by the French opera and film director Jean-Pierre Ponelle as the most successful translation of musical performance onto the screen that he had ever seen.
