Du Pré’s After Life
June 28th, 2006Du Pré & Elgar Cello Concerto – Jacqueline Du Pré and Daniel Barenboim married and happy.
Yo Yo Ma inherited her cello (Davidov Stradivarius) and facial expressions but not her music.
Here is a compelling film on Jackie, Hilary and Jackie, that musicians (esp. British) hated. Trailer here.
Two great actresses Emily Watson and Rachel Griffith played the two sisters, making a mark in cinematic history.
The film was directed by Anand Tucker, who recently returned to direct “Shopgirl”. Everything wonderful about Shopgirl happened because of this young director and everything shallow belongs to Steve Martin the author, the selfish rich white man.
