A second chance to see this memorable series, first shown in 1979, and repeated this week on consecutive evenings.
In the first of four programmes recorded at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama before an audience of music students, the cellist Jacqueline du Pre takes a masterclass on the work, which above all others, she made particularly her own: the Elgar cello concerto. With FAYE CLINTON and CHRISTINE JACKSON accompanist CLIFFORD BENSON
She was always the most physical and generous of musicians. Now she instructs meticulously, full of concern and goodwill for the young players.
