The great cellist Jacqueline Du Pré would have been 80 years old on January 26, 2025, if illness had not taken her too early at the age of 42. This LP brings together Camille Saint-Saëns’ famous 1st Cello Concerto with Jackie’s husband Daniel Barenboim at the baton, and Frederick Delius’ rarer Cello Concerto, which perfectly fits with Du Pré’s playing and sensitivity (this time accompanied by Sir Malcolm Sargent). Warner re-released on LP a few years ago the 1968 EMI studio recording of the Saint-Saëns Concerto, also with Barenboim (but with the New Philharmonia Orchestra). The live recording on this new vinyl was made three years later, in 1971, with the Philadelphia Orchestra in its city, and released on CD at the end of the ’90s by Teldec. It is released here on vinyl for the first time.
