Elgar & Delius: The Cello Concertos

Jacqueline du Pré (2024 Remastered, London 1965)

1 disc(s) - 9 track(s)
Total length: 00:54:47

 

Elgar composed his Cello Concerto at the end of World War I before descending into pessimism and silence. His work reflects a torn, raw sensitivity and deserves an interpretation that matches the emotional weight of the composer and the historical events he endured.

Jacqueline Du Pré belongs to that category of performers who have music burning within them. One doesn't need to be a music scholar or an infallible theorist if one does not possess, like this immense artist, the inner fire and the spontaneous and instinctive inspiration that produce definitive recordings. Full stop.

Enjoy your listening

a true audiophile gem

The recording is an audiophile’s dream.
I'm usually very cautious when it comes to 'digitally remastered'.
But here, something has been achieved that I never thought possible.
I don’t believe that even a flawless vinyl pressing of these concerts from the year they were recorded, played on a modern, high-end turntable, could produce a comparable sound.
I wish the mastering engineer a long life so that he may continue to bring many more of these musical treasures to light.
