The embedded video is linked to my Jacqueline du Pré playlist on YouTube. (Overall duration: almost 1,5 h.)

Jacqueline du Pré and Kathleen Ferrier - these two great British artists died when they had scarcely reached the fifth decade of their lifes. Their personalities will never be forgotten, and their art is living on.
"Teach us, sprite or bird,
What sweet thoughts are thine;
I have never heard
Praise of love or wine
That panted forth a flood
Of rapture so divine."
(P.B. Shelley - To a Skylark)
(See also morgainelefaye's Jacqueline du Pré clip.)

Addendum:
J. du P.'s biography on Oxford DNB podcast
