Bruch, Max: Kol Nidrei - Jacqueline du Pré, cello; Daniel Barenboim, conductor, with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, recorded April 1968 in London, released in June 1968 by EMI, producer Christopher Nupen Jacqueline Mary du Pré, OBE (26 January 1945 – 19 October 1987) was an English cellist. At a young age, she achieved enduring mainstream popularity unusual for a classical performer. Despite her short career, she is regarded as one of the more uniquely talented cellists of the second half of the twentieth century. Her career was cut short by multiple sclerosis, which forced her to stop performing at the age of 28. She battled the illness for many years, which ultimately resulted in an untimely death. Du Pré met pianist Daniel Barenboim on New Years Eve 1966. Shortly after the end of the Six-Day War, she cancelled all her existing engagements (antagonising promoters) and they flew to Jerusalem. She converted to Judaism, and they were married on 15 June 1967 at the Western Wall. https://youtube/watch?v=ie1HPkktC1o
