The late, great Jacqueline du Pré performs the Allegro Apassionato, Opus 43, of Camille Saint-Saёns.
"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

A lovely performance!
Thanks for that. It was lovely.
(My mom was never close to that good, but she could play easier pieces pretty well.)
Along with that I think you must watch DuPre's Elgar concerto, at least the first few minutes:

That's her husband Barenboim conducting. The way she got MS and eventually died is so poignant.
Yes, it was a sad ending. But what fine contributions she made in her short life.
On the sidebar at YouTube is her Elgar Concerto, which impressed Mstislav Rostropovich so much that he removed it from his program - because he didn't think he could ever equal her performance.
