Jacqueline du Pré is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — British cellist famed for her recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto
Jacqueline du Pré was a British cellist celebrated for her intensely expressive playing, above all her landmark 1965 recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto, before multiple sclerosis ended her career. She was born into an Anglican family and was not Jewish by birth; she converted to Judaism in 1967 on her marriage to the conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim.
