Jacqueline du Pré a fost o violoncelistă britanică, recunoscută ca una dintre cele mai proeminente interprete ale violoncelului din secolul XX. A studiat cu maeștri de renume precum Pablo Casals, Paul Tortelier și Mstislav Rostropovici.
Compilația The Very Best of Jacqueline du Pré a apărut în 2005 la casa de discuri EMI Classics pe 3 CD-uri și conține 29 de piese. Oferă o selecție din cele mai celebre concerte pentru violoncel de Edward Elgar, Antonín Dvořák, Joseph Haydn și Boccherini, completate cu piese mai scurte precum Sicilienne de Fauré, Trei piese de fantezie de Schumann sau Lebăda de Saint-Saëns. Colecția include înregistrări legendare care i-au întemeiat reputația artistică și rămân interpretări de referință ale repertoriului pentru violoncel.
