Jacqueline du Pre Live Radio Recordings 1963-1971

[Barbirollians]

According to Gramophone WArner are to issue in March a 3 CD set of rare radio recordings .It willbe annoying if those often reissued BBC recordings are among them butI cannot find any sign of these online - no mention to be found on WArner ,Presto or MDT- Amazon seem to have details of a set called rarities but no other info . Anyone know anything about them ?

Somehow I doubt my wishlist of a Brahms Double with Zukerman and a Dvorak Concerto with Barbirolli will be on there !

Unfortunately Barbs, there is no known radio broadcast extant of JB and Du Pre in the Dvorak.

Yes not even sure if she ever played it with him . Odd how record companies behaved in the old days - after a success like that Elgar nowadays a record company would have been desperate to get the Dvorak out of them - look at how quickly Weilerstein's followed her Elgar.
