Eight Individual DVDs: Cellist William Pleeth, teacher of the legendary Jacqueline du Pré and many other internationally-recognized cellists, celebrated his eightieth birthday in 1996. To mark the event, a series of eight one-hour films was made of his cello masterclasses at the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies in Snape, England. The film captures Pleeth in some of his finest work as a master teacher in the best-known and loved repertoire for the cello: concertos by Haydn, Dvorák; sonatas by Brahms, Beethoven, and Elgar, and the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations.
