The "Very Best of Jacqueline du Pré" is excellent
This is a very reasonably priced three CD set of du Pré at her best. Although I lean towards Paul Tortelier, the reasons are more historical than musical, many people consider her to be the cellist of the twentieth century and with good reason. She had the ability during her short career to bring out the true depths of feeling only the cello can achieve and few cellists.Beginning with a piece she made her own and an early recording many consider to be the very best with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli, it has a wide range of her performances including later recordings with her husband, Daniel Barenboim.Although, both in terms of range and value for money, the other reviewer's suggestions recommending the seventeen CD set is probably true (£15 more, fourteen more CDs but I didn't see it first), this is still a good purchase and one I recommend.

A Jacqueline du Pre Collection
This includes so many of the worlds great cello concertos performed by this exceptionally gifted cellist. Of course, the Elgar cello concerto is included, a version which over the years, has achieved a cult status. I find I particularly like the soothing slow movement of the Boccherini concerto. Among the smaller pieces found on the third cd are such gems as Saint-Saens' 'The Swan' , and Bruch's 'Kol Nidrei. For the sentimental among us three concertos are conducted by her husband Daniel Barenboim, who, in addition, accompanies her on a number of short pieces on the piano.This a piece of musical history.

Some of the best
I bought this for the Concertos and a better version of them in my lifetime seems very unlikely. You'll need to look elsewhere for Schumann's Concerto but that is how it is. The sound is very clear and immediate - coupled with the sublime playing, you are listening to perfection. The only way I could imagine hearing better would be to get the same recordings on Vinyl and play them on my Linn Sondek.

The Greatest? Listen to the Evidence!
One of the finest Cellists the world has ever known (THE finest IMO), this 3 CD set offers some sublime recordings and offers outrageously good value for money. The recording quality is excellent for the age of the Master Tapes too. Five Stars.
