Jacqueline Du Pre Her Life, Her Music, Her Legend

"Ms. Wilson has a remarkable ability to capture the interpretive essence of a performance and provides eloquent accounts of many of du Pre's concerts that would be difficult or impossible for most readers to hear (mostly from radio archives in Europe and the U.S.). The interpretive arc of du Pre's performances of the Elgar, from youthful impetuosity to mature profundity to the final presentations, when encroaching illness marred her physical control, give the reader a deeper insight into her life than any narrative of events or psychological theory could possibly provide."Wilson, Elizabeth is the author of 'Jacqueline Du Pre Her Life, Her Music, Her Legend', published 1999 under ISBN 9781559704908 and ISBN 155970490X.
