1998 saw the publication of a memoir of du Pre by her brother and
sister. It was followed in 1999 by this book, claiming to be 'the
most authoritative account' of du Pre's life, authorized by her
husband, Daniel Barenboim. (Kirkus UK)
Authorized by du Pre's husband, Daniel Barenboim, this is the
fullest account yet of the life of the brilliant cellist, struck
down in her prime by multiple sclerosis. Charting her career from
her early identification with the sound of the cello, through her
debut at sixteen to the achievement of international stardom by her
early twenties, Elizabeth Wilson examines the origins and nature of
Jackie's prodigious talent - having talked to nearly everyone in
musical circles who knew her well - and assesses her lasting
importance as an interpreter. She describes her transformation from
coltish girl to woman, and her marriage to the brilliant Daniel
Barenboim, concluding with a sensitive account of du Pre's decline,
when, no longer able to play, she struggled bravely against the
ravages of her illness, until her death in 1987.
