近日看到一個介紹郎朗的紀錄片, 片中提及他常常出外演奏而很少時間留在中國的家中. 這使我想起多年前看過的一部電影名為 '她比煙花寂寞'. 影片講述了姐妹Hillary和Jacqueline du pre的故事. 片中提及她們姊妹都是天才, Hillary 吹長笛, 而Jackie善於拉大提琴. 但Jackie聲名大噪後便到各地演奏, 片中描述了Jackie的孤獨感, 以及如何她與家庭的分離, 以及對大提琴的指責... 想要破壞她的大提琴... 直至她與著名鋼琴及指揮家Daniel Barenboim結緍, 最後癱瘓離世的故事.Jacqueline du pre五歲開始學習大提琴後, 己顯露了她的天份. 她十六歲已開始專業演出, 並被譽為世界上最有才華和出色的年輕音樂家. 可惜十年後, 幾乎在一夜之間, 她因多發性硬化症的影响, 被迫放下提琴. 從此經過十四年多與癱瘓病的糾纏後於年齡不到42歲時離世. 她的提琴達維多夫名琴現為馬友友演奏所用.
我在片中除了認識了這位著名的大提琴家, 也愛上了她演奏的 Elgar Cello Concerto.
Youtube 上有一段Jacqueline du Pre的紀錄:

Jacqueline du Pre was a child prodigy. Even since she made her professional debut at 16, she was considered as one of the world's most talented and exciting young musicians. Unfortunately,she was forced to stop playing virtually overnight when multiple sclerosis removed the feeling in her hands just before a concert ten years later. She had suffered from this crippling disease for fourteen years before she died at the age of 42. She left her cello Davydov Stradivarius to Yo-Yo Ma.
Her legend had put on to a movie 'Hilliary and Jackie', which tells about the affection between she and her sister - Hilary du Pre. Hilary played the flute and Jackie the cello, both were talented. Then Jackie became famous at 16, she had to travel far away from home. She was lonely and missed her sister very much. Many people consider her dealth one of the greatest loss in musical world ever...
