Jacqueline du Pré movie: Hilary & Jackie

I watched this movie the other day about the famous British cellist Jacqueline du Pre and wow.. it was so good!! She was an incredible cellist best known for her Edward Elgar Cello Concerto performances.

I think that part of the curiosity about her is that she had to stop playing in her 20’s due to a debilitating nerve disorder. The Cello Museum has a wonderful article about her.

The movie Hilary and Jackie is from 1998 and definitely has some of that era’s styles. But overall this was a great portrait of her and I really wonder about some of the drama between her and her sister.. was it real?! You’ll have to watch it to see what I’m talking about..
