Jacqueline du Pré: A Glimpse of Genius

Season 1 Episode 1 | 4m 41s

A unique insight into Jacqueline du Pré's innate talent as a cellist from esteemed musicians, like Pinchas Zukerman, Zubin Mehta and her husband, Daniel Barenboim. In between rehearsals at London's Abbey Road Studios, we see her at the piano, then in rehearsal playing a Brahms cello sonata. On the concert platform, she performs a cello concerto by Camille Saint-Saëns.
