About
This is my very first homepage and is dedicated to Jacqueline du Pré, a
great British cellist.
This homepage contains her biography, photos, quotations, a film about her and
links.
Although she is now in heaven, but she left us the most precious thing, her
music.
Hope you enjoy here.
11/08/01: Added 3 pictures of Jackie and a new comic link.

Jacqueline
du Pré rehearsing Beethoven
`She is the most
outstanding cellistic and musical talent I have met so far, to which she
adds incredible maturity of mind. I am of the opinion that she will have a
great career and deserves every help to this end'
William Pleeth
`She was the ideal recording
artist, undemanding, understanding of other people's problems and with no
outbursts of what is called "temperament"....For the engineers
she was the perfect artist who never complained, however long it took to
get the right sound through the microphones. For me, the all-too-brief six
years in which we worked together are a golden memory of spontaneous,
unaffected, joyous music-making.'
Suvi Raj Grubb,
her recording producer
`Jacqueline du Pré belongs,
like Pablo Casals, Rostropowitsch and Tortelier, to the cellists who could
make "sing" their instrument. She mastered all technical details
easily. Her additional strengths were passionate feeling, rhythmical fire,
breath-taking drive.'
