Tribute to Jacqueline du Pré | by AllegroFilms

"30 years after she died, and 44 after she stopped playing, Jacqueline du Pré remains a much loved figure in the public imagination, and in a way that is very rare. In the year that would have been her 72th birthday, we pay tribute to Jacqueline du Pré." - Christopher Nupen

She could be such a silly goose. She was so funny and so sweet and so kind and loving. I was blessed to have become friends with her in 1967 at age 17. We both had the same middle name...Mary. She was 22 when we met and engaged to Danny. She spoke of him during our visit in Toronto and had pictures of him all over her hotel mirror. She was also talking with him on the phone and clearly was missing him. She was like a big kid and so in love with Danny! ❤ Being five years younger than Jackie, I could not understand why she wanted to get married. Her life was so perfect. She loved hearing about my silly stories about my pets and my adventures. She sounded like she wanted the same for herself sometimes rather than her brilliant performing career. She said to me once in one of her letters, "Actually, you have a gift for enjoying life almost more than anyone I know." That was Jackie, always making you feel like you were the most important person in her life...and in that particular moment, I believe you were! She loved playing little jokes and she had the most radiantly beautiful smile and jolly laugh. She insisted I try playing her awesome Davidov Stradivari cello, that Yo Yo Ma now has. What a thrill that was. She also invited me to turn pages for her husband Daniel Barenboim, at a recital! What she did not know, was that it was my very first page-turning experience. Fortunately I could just follow the cello line above the piano part and I did not get lost. :) One of my favourite memories, is sitting on her lap in a tiny sports car when she had her driver give me a lift home after her concert here in London, Ontario. We laughed so hard! Whenever I miss her, I read her beautiful hand-written letters to me and there she is again, right in front of me, talking about life. I had a premonition about her illness and wrote to her about my dream. She addresses it in one of her letters. Even though I knew her fate, it still came as a huge crushing blow when I heard the news of her death announced on the radio, on my way to teach a morning cello lesson. I had to pull over, as I was blinded with tears. All I could see was her beautiful face glowing with appreciation for a gift I had hidden in her locker at Alumni Hall before the recital I turned pages for. You would think I had given her gold! She was so grateful and told me what a good friend I was to have done this little thing for her. Many years after Jackie died, she paid me a visit in my home. My little cottage has seen many spirits...always good ones, sharing their beautiful energy! It was that visit that inspired me to perform an all cello solo concert tribute to her memory in order to raise funds for our failing orchestra. She was concerned because I was so sad. I was given the use of the 12 million dollar bonjour Stradivari cello to perform the tribute on. My cellist Mother died a week before the concert and I put my emotions on the back burner and promoted the show. I performed the whole program for my dying parents at the nursing home weeks before the concert and put the Stradivari cello in bed with my Mom and rested her hand on it. I can only hope she was aware on some level. Mom had Parkinson's disease and my Dad had final stage Alzheimer's disease. The 1700 seats all sold out and the concert was held up a half hour getting everyone in and the most emotional concert of my entire life took place and it raised over $100,000 for our orchestra and we did not fold. Thank you Jackie. A Dutch artist created a stunning lithograph of me playing the Elgar, with Jackie's radiant spirit playing it along with me. The lithograph itself raised $18,000. I sold every one of the 42 lithographs calling people day and night. I am an artist as well and have since painted several portraits of Jackie. I miss her and I love her and I am blessed and very grateful for having met her and had this beautiful friendship. Carol Easton wrote a book about Jackie called "Jacqueline Du Pre a biography" and she quotes some of the things Jackie wrote in her letters to me. Yet another wonderful honour. The universe has a way of making some pretty amazing things happen, if your intention is pure and based on love. We are all connected in this universe and that is how such magical events unfold! Thank you so much for posting this wonderful clip. I hope it remains here for all to enjoy, for all time! ❤ This is my concert tribute to my dear friend Jackie, that I played with our orchestra in 2000 on the Bonjour Stradivarius loaned to me for the occasion. ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3OyY5-aeJ2Dbrcsi=Z5H2v4lzr4Xc9A3s

[@jacquelineandroy5175]

She reminds me of Hayley Mills with her fresh face, no make up and big smile💞 I first heard about her about 20 years ago on the television. I was mesmerised so I didn't change channels. I remember her saying that when she was a toddler she heard the cello on the radio and asked her Mammy "What is that noise?" Her Mammy told her that it is the cello. So Jacqueline said "I don't know what that is all I know is that I'm going to learn how to play it!" "...and the rest" as they say "is history." Beautiful💖

Jacqueline du Pré was like a supernova, a star so bright that it exploded and then faded away into the heavens. Her multiple sclerosis makes sense (not from a scientific sense, but from a visceral one) in that her senses were so heightened, that her nerves simply burned out. She poured more emotion and energy in playing one musical piece than most humans do in a decade of living. Genius often comes with such a heavy price.

[@margaretharypkema9290]

Sorry but I think this is pretentious grandstanding and unscientific twaddle. A lot of ordinary people suffer from this disease and a lot of artists don't. You say genius often comes with such a heavy price. What is your definition of genius and what percentage is 'often'? MS is not caused by hard work, just bad luck.

[@bozarts22]

A talent like no other. Her soul was one with the music and the cello!! Genius!❤

[@mandoist]

I first learned of Jacqueline from Yo Yo Ma. Saw her only once, near her final stretch of performing. Yo Yo Ma told me years later, while hanging out in Boston's Logan Airport, that "this is Jacqueline's cello". I had no words. We were silent for minutes; until he finally played a somber, then happy piece.

[@Tamara-qd5dc]

Is Yo Yo Ma playing on the cello that used to belong to Jacqueline? What an amazing continuity..... He is one of the few who truly deserves her cello.

[@christinenewland386]

​@@Tamara-qd5dcyes he is. 😊 Jackie will always be the greatest cellist ever to me. I was blessed to be her friend and we wrote to each other. Every time I re-read her beautiful letters I dissolve into tears. I had a very intense premonition of her getting MS and dying. I wrote to her about it. She was also a very Spiritual person and saw her future. She and I just clicked. I was 17 (1967) and she was 22 at the peak of her career! In a dream I wanted to express love and support when I saw her feeling sad and fearing being sick and not being able to perform anymore. I was so upset by her sadness that I told her she was going to go onstage and play better than ever and I offered to go onstage with her if she would like. Years later in real life, she invited me to turn pages for Her husband Daniel Barenboim and so I DID go onstage with them! It all feels surreal now...like a dream! I am so blessed to have her as my friend. Thank you Universe! I later performed a special concert in her honor. I played the show on the Bonjour Stradivarius cello and I played several works including the Elgar. My Mom Elzee Newland, died a few days begore the concert and Dad died 6 weeks later. The 1,700 seat hall was sold out and the energy in the hsll was amazing. I read the audience her letters to me. My husband who passed Feb 19 2023 made a sound video of that Tribute concert and I posted it to share with people who like me, absolutely love her!

Don't think I ever really appreciated the cello until I saw this. As for her, seems to me she was the Glenn Gould of that instrument - completely original, completely herself. This film is a great reminder that behind all the BS and 'sniffing snobbery' of the 'classical' realm there is a genius, a sense of humor and a devil may care commitment to the ART of music that is palpable and - above all - very moving!

[@charlesbrett6156]

I never tire of listening to and watching Jackie. It is not just about the music it is about the person so loving so talented and s spirited, Jackie lifts our spirits every time that superb instrument is played.

Growing up playing the violin I feel like I got caught up in the stress of the details - where I sat, keeping my chair, the conductor yelling at me, practicing enough, all the competition! she reminds me of the pure love and joy of music that I remember getting to here and there but being clouded over because I was young and immature and always worried about all the dumb stressers that I bought into- how I wish I could go back and redo it -just me and the music and a smile on my face

[@cynthiabeltran1680]

Jacqueline du Pré: A complete genius. I agree with Maestro Perlman. Jackie is the owner of all the works she performed. If we listened to another version we'd immediately ask ourselves: Where is Jackie? Yesterday I listened to another version of Schubert's Trout Quintet (A. Berg group and a guest). I can only listen to that unique performance: Jacqueline in London with her husband Maestro Daniel Barenboim and her friends: All masters. People in general wouldn't understand the life of a genius who is completely devoted to music and who loves her husband with all her soul as they share the same love. Wherever Jackie is... She still loves Daniel Barenboim: Her true love who introduced this unique artist to us all. Once more she would say: "Daniel, how much I love you!!! And to her dear friends: I adore the cello, but I wouldn't have made it possible without you. Thank you!!!" That's being great as a musician and above all: as a human being.

[@christinenewland386]

When we spent the day tigether she had Pics of her and Daniel all over her mirror! I took pics of her with her big smile standing in front of the mirror. I love reading and rereading her letters. I always cry. I hope her spirit visits ne and I hope my husband hooks up with her on the other side. He passed a year ago and is always sending me astound signs that he is watching over me as he promised. I belief Jackie is one of my protective angels. ❤

On the surface we're familiar with savants and their uncanny abilities, but equally disconnected from the world. And yet she did not seem to be a savant as noted in her giving qualities and exuberant social sharing. She knew what she was doing at all times and that gift she gave to others helped her maintain that spirit that cannot easily be explained. She was from others before, that much we can hear. I'm grateful she recorded what she did because the world is in dire need of the arts and she was a master to unlock the secrets that often elude us.

MARAVILOSO ÁNGEL DISFRAZADO DE MUJER. ALMA PRECIOSA Y TIERNA. EL TIMBRE DE SU CELLO ES DE OTRO MUNDO. CADA VEZ QUE LA ESCUCHO Y VEO MIS LÁGRIMAS CORREN A MARES. SE NOS FUE DEMASIADO PRONTO. SU LEGADO ES INMORTAL. ELLA NO HA MUERTO. VIVE EN LOS CORAZONES DE MILLONES DE PERSONAS QUE LA ADORAN. TE AMO PROFUNDAMENTE JAQUELINE. DIOS TE BENDIGA AHORA Y SIEMPRE.

Isn't it sweet to watch musicians 'talk' to each other and laugh at their inside jokes, through their instruments?

[@georgehemingway1718]

What more can anyone say about this lovely lady? She must have inspired thousands of young musicians to try and emulate her but to me there is only one of her kind and that is Jacquie R.I.P

Itzhak Perlman.. "she ruined the Trout for me, that's not Jackie..." Perlman heard her musicality and artist soul up close. William Pleeth must have been a marvelous teacher, he let duPre be herself and guided her throughout her music journey. I wonder if duPre and Pleeth ever gave a recital together?

I did not know she could play piano so well, that Mozart sonata was very good.

[@voraciousreader3341]

At 6:53, Daniel Barenboim clearly says, “Clementi,” when she asks him what she should play. Not Mozart.

@@voraciousreader3341 He does tell her “Play the Clementi”, but he obviously forgot that the piece is actually by Kuhlau.

[@Filipe_Canzian]

I love her so much! She was and still is so special and inspirational for me and thousand people, I wish I could've lived back then when she was alive and healthy. Sometimes I wonder what nowadays medicine and technology could've done for her. She's a special soul, a beautiful and shiny one. The greatest and most inspirational person of all time for me. Whenever I listen to her music it feels like I'm transported to a beautiful and peaceful place, and I like to think that there's where she is, in this nice place, playing her cello and being eternally happy. I'm 27 yo only, but I always have that feeling like I was born in the wrong decade/country. My heart will always have this special place just for you, Jackie. Thanks for making me a better person. Thanks for the upload. It made my day alot better.

Regrettably, modern medicine and technology couldn't have done any more for her than they do for more recent victims of MS: NOTHING. What we can be grateful for, is recording technology that has preserved what she was, so in that way, she can still live though music.

[@annedwyer797]

@@kathleenegbert1989 It's not really true about the current state of medicine: there are a number of drugs that have been approved to treat the symptoms of MS, though most aren't terribly effective. But certainly there's much more available now in terms of medical treatment/management of SM than there was 40 yrs ago.

I loved watching everybody have fun before the Trout. What fun that must have been to be there in that moment! I love Her!

[@annedwyer797]

I love this performance documentary of five superstars, and "The Trout" happens to be one of my favorite pieces of music. The clowning around before they go on stage is wonderful. The funniest is the kiss between Itzak Perlman and Zubin Mehta; they were "bros" before bros was even a thing!

[@user-qr9uh1fd8g]

I have been very blessed with a musical family and I love you and I wish I had a piano for the music

[@voraciousreader3341]

I hate that these awful things happen to amazing people, people who give so much to the world and yet are forced to suffer the pain and indignities of a debilitating-and, in this case, fatal-illness. I have a lot of immune disorders or diseases,or whatever, the worst being myalgic encephalomyelitis, and it actually helps me cope to try to understand what other have had to cope with. For a person like du Pré, though, to have lost the ability to play her cello in tune bc she couldn’t feel the strings with her fingertips by the age of 28....that’s almost more than I can bear to think about.

[@anthonyfrew1571]

From a time when talent meant something - before everyone was a so-called, 'reality star' real talent should count, it should mean something - artists such as Jacqueline embody artistry

[@johnh5958]

Christopher Nupen is to me the best filmmaker ever, and his filming of Du Prê is a great blessing. I don't understand why the hack film reviewers who put together "film canon" lists completely overlook him.

Jaqueline was pure genius, and she made the cello sing beautifully.

[@livb6945]

That's interesting... I feel the opposite. 🤔 Everyone was clearly and understandably smitten by her talent and joie de vivre, almost hypnotised - but who she was behind that, who she was beside the music - that is said nothing about.
