  1. Best Cellist ever(in my opinion) tragic life. Didn't particularly enjoy 'Hilary and Jackie'. You might like 'Ghost of a Rose' by Blackmores Night. www.markmusicwinter.blogspot.co.uk
    Toodles, Mark.

    1. Welcome to Omnium, Mark. It's tragic, indeed, that illness ended Jacqueline de Pré's career so early. What might she have been able to achieve. She might have become a female pendent to Pau Casals.
      Thank you very much for recommending that lovely song. A "Saturday Blackmores Night" came to my mind.
