Jacqueline du Pré in Denmark
In 1969, the world-famous cellist Jacqueline du Pré visited the Danish National Symphony Orchestra twice: in April she played Haydn's Cello Concerto in C major, and in September she was soloist in her brilliant number, Elgar's Cello Concerto, conducted by her husband Daniel Barenboim. A few years later, Jacqueline du Pré had to stop her career due to sclerosis, but the historical recordings of the then only 24-year-old cello star are preserved in DR's archive. Jacqueline du Pré, cello. DR Symphony Orchestra. Conductor: Mogens Wöldike. (Radiohusets Koncertsal, 18 April and 11 September 1969)
