That was lovely! One of my favorite pieces. Never heard Jackie play it, although Isserlis does a nice job. She brings out the passion. I think Felix' SWW were among his better works, so often overlooked.

The Songs without words are a collection of poems, stunning simplicity with great meaning.

Thanks for your comments, Gurn.

Bumping this because a) the link above is dead, and b) it deserves to be bumped. 

The video and audio both show their age, but it's still du Pré. While she was young and still developing technically, it's the real deal and an impressive rendition.
