Amazon.com essential recording

During her far-too-brief career, cellist Jacqueline du Pré exhibited an almost oracular power of communication. Her performances bristled with the kind of brilliant electricity that could change lives and convert listeners to a lifelong love of music. Happily, it's possible to experience a sense of that power from the recordings du Pré completed before multiple sclerosis halted her career as a performer in the early 1970s. This set provides a splendid portrait--at bargain price--of du Pré's unmistakable personality: the astonishingly original yet convincing phrasing, raw energy, and ability to make her instrument sound uncannily like a human voice (du Pré was after all a favored student of Mstislav Rostropovich). Her rendition of Haydn's Concerto in C is clearly cast in a romantic--and nowadays perhaps unfashionable--mold, yet du Pré's big, bold tone carries the musical line forward with exhilarating presence. It's a demeanor that proves especially reassuring for the quirkily mercurial inventions of Boccherini. Yet du Pré most indelibly leaves her signature on the work that became her hallmark, Edward Elgar's E Minor Concerto, grafting a deeply personal level of expression onto the score's rich post-World War I melancholy. In the Schumann, du Pré makes an eloquently passionate protagonist. A similar sense of excitement is to be heard in Dvorák's Concerto--performed near the end of her career--above all in the flame of inspiration she evidently sparks from the orchestra in the serene close of its slow movement. This is a supremely rewarding collection for the beginner and aficionado alike. --Thomas May

Beutefully interpretted.......2007-04-04

Jacquline du Pres interprettation of some of the moast famous cello consertos is simply amasing. her music just flows with energy and abbowe all passion. she realy brings out the qaleties of the cello with intensety and softnes intertwined. music bursting with passion.

I THOUGHT I had heard these concertos,,,.......2007-04-04

UNTIL I was fortunate enough to have heard them performed by Jacqueline du Pre!!!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Her superb playing, along with truly masterful
interpretative skills, just "comes pouring out of the speakers!"
Also, the orchestras were obviously truly inspired by these opportunities to perform and record with one of the greatest musicians of all time.
The sound quality is excellent, as is the separation and clarity of both the soloist's and orchestral performances. The overall dynanism is also top notch - I found I had to lower the volume substantially from my normal
system loudness levels.
I've enjoyed this set so much I'll probably wind up buying everything from Amazon that EMI has produced with Jacqueline du Pre's name on it!

Excellent Selection.......2007-02-27

The choice of concertos is excellent and the artistry of Jacqueline du Pre is exceptional. The Schumann and Saint-Saens works are truly beautiful.

The album is a fitting tribute to the tragic loss of an incredible young talent.

A sassy dame.......2007-02-20

I love this CD. It came extremely fast to NZ and a bonus too as I was expecting only one cd not three!
While Dvorak is currently my favourite, other composers featured here have been growing on me.
Never been a Cello devotee in the past, but I am enjoying this new phase of my musical listening.
The late Ms du Pre plays with vigor and assertiveness, yet manages to convey those moving and sublime moments when needed.
Most enjoyable. Thanky you

Pleasure to listen.......2006-02-23

This 3 cd pack plays daylong on the player. Great music, great artist.

Great century classics of du Pre at budget price.......2004-05-27

EMI Classics releases this mid-line "Great Recordings of the Century" compilation that samples cello concertos of Haydn and Boccherini. Cellist Jacqueline du Pre passed at the summit of her career but no doubt this compilation, which is once again a miniature and a re-release of works that are already available in numerous CDs, confirms her place in the pantheon of cellists.

This compilation consists of Cello Concerto No.1 in C and Cello Concerto No.2 in D by Haydn, and Cello Concerto in B flat by Boccherini. Once again it recapitulates du Pre's agile, oracular power of communication. The famous 1967 recordings of these concertos still may raise eyebrows amongst today's authentic performance hall. Even though these three pieces may be available from previous full-price releases, it is doubtful whether these selections have ever been mastered on disc with such immaculate, passionate intensity, which is the reason why I decide to get this compilation.

The Haydn C major, under du Pre's rendition, truly accentuates its formal elegance and economy and its fresh, spirited thematic ideas. Few cellists could even compete with her phenomenal dexterity of fingers and bowing wrist which manifested in the delicacy of the nuance. Each of the three movements of the C major is in full sonata form. The imposing but asymmetrical main theme dominates the first movement. Du Pre takes up and richly embellishes the principal theme. The mid development culminates in a powerful ritornello that pulls the music back to C major for the recapitulation.

The Haydn D major is in complete contrariety to the C major. It is a far more relaxed, leisure, and expansive work than its predecessor, with each note being unfolded leisurely. The opening theme of the D major sets the tone while a secondary theme in the orchestral ritornello is executed in a decorous manner. The development is discursive with little of Haydn's signature harmonic tension. This piece lacks the romantic, bold tone in C major that carries the musical line forward in an exhilarating presence.

As many listeners have known, a German composer and cellist by the name of Friedrich Grützmacher in 1895 did a major overhaul of Bocherini's Cello Concerto in B flat, giving it a romantic quality Boccherini never would have known. The most outrageous arrangement was the replacement of the slow movement with a more bold, intense adagio movement that lends the piece's romantic touch. And again du Pre's rendition is immaculate.

This is a budget-priced CD with a sampling of some of du Pre's greatest performances that are probably unmatched even by today's standards.

Classic Du Pre, Unnecessary Release.......2003-07-17

This CD confirms the great cellist Jacqueline Du Pre in a place of well deserved honor -- in the elite company of the world's best classical performers and conductors as featured in EMI's "Great Recordings of the Century" series. The problem is everyone already knew she was great and we have all had access to these recordings previously on CD. However, this mid-line title does make for a much better release than the still available full-price CD coupling one of the two Haydn Cello Concertos featured here with her recording of the Dvorak with then hubby Barenboim. However, the best way to get these magnificent works is in one of several larger EMI collections of Du Pre playing Cello Concertos -- my favorite being the 4-CD "The Concerto Collection." Du Pre's artistry is so incredible that it makes any and all purchases worth it.

What the -- ?.......2006-06-19

I must chime in with the negative votes for this disc. The blues cadenzas are really inappropriate to the material, being a complete break from the style of Haydn's concertos, and not even referring to the previous thematic content (as far as I could tell). Now, I like to think I'm not being a crank about this - I have a good collection of 20s-40s jazz, as well as some early blues and honkytonk piano recordings. It's true that jazz musicians and arrangers sometimes make reference to themes from classical music - but they do it in a jazz style, and it fits right in. Not only does the blues have nothing to do with Haydn's music, but the cello is really not a suitable jazz/blues instrument (despite recent experiments). (Whereas the piano, with its percussive potential, might be more appropriate, especially where the composer has already introduce a "swing" element, e.g. some of the Saint Saens concertos.) On top of this, I wasn't exactly blown away by the "straight" parts of the performance. This disc was a great disappointment, and represents a lamentable lapse in taste on the part of both Kliegel and Naxos.

Gutsy ... and controversial!.......2004-08-30

This CD is controversial and you will either love it or hate it, or you may, like me, have rather mixed feelings, but I promise you it will not leave you cold! The reason for this is not to be found in the compositions presented (Haydn's two surviving cello concertos and the best-known of Boccherini's total of nine) but in the "small print" at the bottom of the inlay: "Cadenzas by Peter Breiner". Breiner is not only a conductor and arranger, but also a jazz musician, and here he manages to combine Haydn's music with some "gutsy" cello playing (by Ludovit Kanta) of the variety that you would expect to hear in a jazz club rather than a classical concert hall. In fact, both Haydn cello concertos are given a strong rhythmic accent which is anything but authentic, only the Boccherini is left more or less "untouched", although I suspect that here, too, Breiner was not concerned to establish any kind of authentic manuscript! The result is a disc that can entertain, amuse and sometimes set your foot tapping as well as tickling your ears with that mellow cello sound (which is excellently captured and put right in the forefront by the engineers - the orchestra is rather pale in comparison); what it doesn't do, of course, is give you 18th century music!

So if you are into historically authentic performances, just quietly forget this disc and move on (Naxos has since produced a much more serious recording of the Haydn concertos with the German cellist Maria Kliegel; the Boccherini concerto is available in an excellent version by Russian Ivan Monighetti on Berlin Classics). But if you want some fun and can listen to this with a twinkle in your eye, it is well worth the slight investment that you need to make. (The CD was digitally recorded in 1987/88 and is generously filled with 69 mins. total playing time.)

Cello with a touch of jazz.......2000-10-31

Peter Breiner's cadenzas on this recording are actually jazz cadenzas, which gives a really interesting twist to these consistently fresh cello concertos (it's kind of a mixture of classical and jazz with some bee-bop and negro spiritual thrown in). Boccherini's concerto doesn't fare as well as Haydn's, but for this price, give it a shot.

Excellent, even if a bit strange..........2000-04-29

Conductor Peter Breiner wrote the cadenzas for these performances, and they are not at all what you would expect. They draw on blues and jazz harmonies that wouldn't be heard until 100+ years after the composition of these concertos! I found them quite off-putting at first, but have warmed to them after subsequent hearings. Haydn was always the musical jokester, and loved to surprise his audiences; if he were alive today, he might get a kick out of this recording.
Cadenzas aside, these are very good performances. They are warm, never stiff, and the musicians sound like they are having a great time. The Haydn C concerto is particularly inspired. Only 4 stars though - partly because the soloist's tone gets a bit squeaky on a few occasions, but mostly because Boccherini simply is not a composer on the same level as Haydn. I would have preferred another Haydn work - perhaps a violin concerto or a piano concerto.
Nevertheless, this is clearly worth checking out.

Great music, but there are better performances available........2000-04-01

This recording's cadenzas, composed by the conductor, sound almost dissonant at times. Their style is just too far removed from the classical era to work well with Haydn' music. Otherwise, the orchestra and soloist are okay.

The Boccherini concerto fades in comparison to the Haydn concertos. Overall, this is a good budget cd.
