Elgar Cello Concerto featuring Jacqueline du Pre and Sea Pictures featuring Janet Baker with The London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli.
"From the cello's muscular declamation that opens Elgar's Cello Concerto to the soaring flights of melody in the third movement and the contrasts between skittish optimism and contemplative melancholy in the finale, you are aware that this emotionally laden masterpiece, the last great work from the Edwardian English composer, was being performed by a mature master of the instrument. Yet when she made this recording in 1965, Jacqueline du Pre was a slightly built 20-year-old, musically wise beyond her years." - John Atkinson, Stereophile Magazine February 2013, p. 60
