High level critical acclaim for our latest DVD releases, Nathan Milstein, Jacqueline du Pré and Itzhak Perlman. Jacqueline du Pré - A celebration won DVD of the Year (Documentary category) at Midem in Cannes, the third time in four years that this top award has been given to one of our DVDs. The other two were Jacqueline du Pré in Portrait, (2005) and We Want the Light, (2006).
Our Nathan Milstein in Portrait DVD
continues to collect accolades for this wonderful violinist, the following from Classic FM Magazine (Julian Haylock) : "If ever you wonder why all of us get so much joy from listening to sublime music performed by great musicians, just watch any of Christopher Nupen's films to remind us of what led us there in the first place."
Jacqueline du Pré - A celebration of her unique and enduring gift
Gramophone Magazine: (Andrew Farach-Colton)
Not only does du Pré's radiant personality shine through ... but also a deeply affecting feeling of quiet sadness that is all the more potent for being entirely free of self-pity. As her friend, the pianist Fou Ts'ong puts it: "I always heard in her music the person she is. And music never lies."
Classic FM Magazine: (Julian Haylock)
This new release from Allegro Films and Christopher Nupen contains two films overflowing with personal reminiscences and vintage film of her playing, much of it rare or unseen.... the pressure on the collector's pocket becomes irresistible.
