Description:

[Classical Masters No. 11] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters made by Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. This is a recording of du Pré at the height of his too-short career. This is her best performance, which captures the work at its greatest, and the emotions that were involved in it. The contrast between the lonesome lyricism and passion in No. 1 and the uninhibited loneliness in No. 2 is stunning. The contrasts in both are brilliant.
