Jacqueline du Pré at the cello and Daniel Barenboim at the piano or the baton formed the most glamourous and successful couple of classical music in the late 60s, both on stage, in private and on record. Last studio realization by du Pré before illness prevented her to play anymore, this recording feature both artists in romantic cello sonatas by Chopin and César Franck (actually a transcription of his famous violin sonata). It was recorded a few months after she had to pause playing for a while due to mysterious symptoms not yet identified.
