Jacqueline du Pré, performing with the two conductors most closely associated with her career, brings characteristic exuberance, passion and colour to three cello concertos rooted in the 18th century. In his memoir A Life In Music, Daniel Barenboim wrote: "I have never encountered anyone for whom music was such a natural form of expression as it was for Jacqueline … She had a capacity to imagine sound such as I never met in any other musician."
"These Jacqueline du Pré performances have been classics for decades and now sound better than ever in their latest remastering. Revered for her passion, technical dexterity, and architectural sweep, du Pré put forth her best effort for Haydn and Boccherini in these 1967 interpretations." (MusicWeb)
