“Jackie was always the most exciting cellist,” Yo-Yo Ma, Jacqueline du Pré’s fellow cellist, has said. “It would be hard to think of another that took as many risks as she did . . . always for expressive reasons. There is no other artist who can transfer that sense of excitement [to a recording].” Here, with Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, du Pré performs perhaps the most widely loved of all cello concertos, Dvořák’s lyrical and stirring epic.
