...stage presence seemed a little mannered, Jacqueline Du Pré could be forgiven. She is only 22, and her exuberance is part of her considerable talent. Her musicianship is anything but immature, however. Her sound is rich and round, her technique impeccable, and her sweeping phrases captivating. She has been compared by some critics to the late great Portuguese cellist Guilhermina Suggia and even Pablo Casals. That may be premature-but only somewhat...

The names are apt, but his voice gives you a few minutes when -- if you close your eyes or otherwise block out his perpetual smirk -- all can be forgiven.
