Music | 12 May 1970

Pinchas Zukerman, Jacqueline du Pré, Daniel Barenboim

This is almost certainly the finest performance ever filmed of this great work - Beethoven’s Piano Trio Opus 70 No. 1, known as The Ghost. The work is a masterpiece, the performance spellbinding and the filming, in the words of the French film and opera director Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, the most successful translation of musical performance onto the screen that he had ever seen.
