This first time CD issue has been released to much fanfare, but it is really only for Du Pre fans. These are not the famous studio performances that have been most recently issued on an EMI Double Forte along with her classic recordings of Chopin and Franck. Instead these are mono performances from 1968 recorded by Christopher Nupen, and released to accompany his documentary film on Du Pre. As for the Bruch, well, let's just say Barenboim has always been hit or miss for me as a conductor, and here it's a miss. For Du Pre completists this disc is a must, for those looking for a great rendition of Brahms' Cello Sonatas, get the Starker/Sebok on Mercury Living Presence (see my review), either the Sony or RCA recordings by Ax and Ma, or the aforementioned Du Pre/Barenboim EMI Double Forte.
