Alysa Liu and Jacqueline du Pré

Michael and I watched "Genius and Tragedy," the 2025 documentary about Jacqueline du Pré the night before I learned about Alysa Liu and saw her scate during the 2026 Olympics. And now I don't think that I can think of one woman without thinking of the other. Maybe some day Alysa Liu might scate to one of Jacqueline du Pré's recordings. Can you imagine the joy that such a convergence of creative souls would bring to this bruised and battered world?
