Jacqueline du Pre: A Gift Beyond Words (1x60) will contain archive footage which remembers both her personality and her music through the memories and tributes of her closest friends and colleagues including; Daniel Barenboim, Pinchas Zukerman, Itzhak Perlman, Toby Perlman, Fou Ts'ong, Zubin Mehta, William Pleeth, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hugh Maguire, Elizabeth Wilson, Cynthia Friend, Charles Beare, Suvi Grubb, Dr Len Selby and Clive Barda. There is music by Beethoven, Eccles, Couperin, Clementi, Elgar, Brahms, Offenbach and Bruch. The writer and director is Christopher Nupen who was close to Jacqueline du Pré for more than 20 years and made five films with her during her lifetime.
        As a companion piece to the programme, Daniel Barenboim will also introduce a recently re-discovered filmed performance ofDvořák's Cello Concerto performed by Jacqueline du Pré in August 1968 at the very height of her musical powers. The performance was shown on the BBC at that time and again in the 1980s, but otherwise has not been seen for 30 years and is acclaimed as one of du Pré』s most outstanding performances.
