On October 19, 1987, British cellist Dupree, who was called by the New York Times, "apparently born to play cello" , died of illness at the age of 42. Her acting career was only about twelve years, and her recording career was less than ten years. once shined on the stage, but it flashed like a comet.

Generally speaking, such a player is easily forgotten by musicians over time. However, her husband Baren Poying once said: "...Of all the great musicians I have met, there has never been a form of natural expressions (like Dupree)." free, straightforward, profound but spontaneous music, and the dramatic tragedy of career stopping at its peak are all the reasons why Dupree's name is difficult to sway in the minds of the musicians.

Dupree was born in Oxford, England in 1945. He studied cello at the age of five and officially stood on the concert stage at the age of sixteen. times, 17-year-old Dupree became famous overnight because he replaced Rose, a senior master who was absent for some reason. Dupree's record number is not large, but it already covers almost all important cello concertos, as well as chamber music by Beethoven and Brams.

Although cellist Dupree only lived for 42 years, and the years she really played in front of the public were only eight years, but what is amazing is that among so many well-known cellist students in the 20th century, none of them left such a deep impression on people like her, and this is not only because she had a tragic life, but also because her performance in the recordings she left behind was so profound and sincere.

is like pianist Fu Cong in Dupree’s documentary “Who is Dupree? 》 says: "Listen to her playing, let me see her true nature. The reason why her performance is so touching is precisely because there are very pure and real things there. She herself is the same. When you face to face with her, from her eyes, the look is exactly the same as when she played the piano."
Perhaps because she had outstanding piano skills at a young age, Dupree was able to show a very innocent soul and emotion in her very over-age piano skills. That is the true nature only exists for souls that have not been polluted by too much secular world.
