Julian Lloyd Webber plays Air Varie by his father on Swedish TV 法国薰衣
Julian Lloyd Webber (born April 14, 1951) is one of the world's most renowned solo cellists. He is the second son of the composer William Lloyd Webber (some of whose pieces for cello he has recorded) and the younger brother of the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Julian Lloyd Webber was a scholar at the Royal College of Music [1] (London) and completed his studies with Pierre Fournier in Geneva in 1973. Lloyd Webber has collaborated with a wide variety of musicians from Yehudi Menuhin, Lorin Maazel, Neville Marriner , Georg Solti and Esa-Pekka Salonen to Stephane Grappelli, Elton John and Cleo Laine. Lloyd Webber has made many recordings, including his BRIT Award winning Elgar Cello Concerto conducted by Yehudi Menuhin (chosen as the finest ever version by BBC Music Magazine),[2] the Dvořák Cello Concerto with Vaclav Neumann and the Czech Philharmonic, Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations with the London Symphony Orchestra under Maxim Shostakovich and a coupling of Britten's Cello Symphony and Walton's Concerto with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, which was described by Gramophone magazine as "beyond any rival". He has also recorded several CDs of short pieces for Universal Classics including Made in England, Cello Moods, Cradle Song and English Idyll (album): "It would be difficult to find better performances of this kind of repertoire anywhere on records of today or yesterday" - Gramophone.[3] |
