du Pré, Jacqueline. (1945–1987) & Barenboim, David. (b. 1942)
Brahms Sonaten für Violoncello und Klavier - Signed LP
Brahms’s Cello & Piano Sonatas Op. 38 and 99, performed by Jacqueline Du Pré & Daniel Barenboim. First German pressing, Electrola EMI SME 91720 12" LP signed by the cellist and her conductor-pianist husband on the cover verso of their 1968 recording. A fine example of an uncommon signature from the cellist who died so tragically young. Overall in fine condition.Jacqueline du Pré and Daniel Barenboim were married in 1967. One of the first things they did as a couple was make this recording of the Brahms sonatas (when it was finished, in 1968, Du Pré was only 23, Barenboim an old man of 25). Their collaboration is an intense one, both in the dark, melancholy E minor work and in the passionate F major sonata. Du Pré's tone is huge and she wrings incredible expression out of every gesture.
