Victorian Cello

Victoria-Anne: the multi-lingual-passionate-love-loving sheep-obsessed Cellist from Neverland. I mostly post about the cello, cellists, and pretty things that are either dear to me or appeal to my aesthetic. I am a girl with many interests. ☆♪

This rare picture was taken during a lovely, impromptu musical evening that was recorded at The Queen Elizabeth Hall on August 13, 1967, with Jacqueline du Pré & Daniel Barenboim.

This sexy sexy man is Vaslav Nijinsky, known as the best ballet dancer in the history of ballet. And the sexiest.

"When I think of Jacqueline du Pré, I think of a performer who thrived on stage, and of a musical spirit who swept up all around her in her enthusiasm and love of her art. It was a gift for me as a young cellist to have such a strong female player as an idol and I certainly found her a great source of inspiration throughout my early cello years. I loved [the] image of her – fearless and joyful. I believe it was her generosity of spirit and ability to transcend the small worries of everyday performing that made her so great." – Cellist Natalie Clein
