A Tale of Two Cellos
Review: Julian & Jiaxin Lloyd Webber – A Tale of Two Cellos, Nottingham Albert Hall A Tale of Two Cellos The name Lloyd Webber will always generate interest. Music runs in the family for Julian who is the second son of the composer William Lloyd Webber and piano player Jean Johnstone, and brother of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Now, alongside Shanghai-born wife Jiaxin Cheng, the Barjansky Stradivarius playing cellist has created something very special. The simply superb, heart warming sound created b...
A Tale of Two Cellos
Concert Review: Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber, Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh A Tale of Two Cellos Because the cello so closely resembles the human voice, natural choices were Rachmaninov’s chorus The Waves are Dreaming, Purcell’s duet Lost is my Quiet and Rubinstein’s song The Angel. But the couple also unearthed rarely heard gems such as Roger Quilter’s Summer Sunset, Piazzolla’s charming waltz The Little Beggar Boy and Arvo Part’s hypnotic Estonian Lullaby, complete with soporific bars of silenc...
A Tale of Two Cellos
Review: Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber at St. George’s Hall, Liverpool A Tale of Two Cellos It’s no secret music is a family affair for the Lloyd Webbers. Dad William was an organist and composer, mum Jean a piano teacher, while eldest son Andrew dabbles in the West End. Then there’s Julian, the Stradivarius-playing cello virtuoso and figurehead of the In Harmony project which has worked such wonders in West Everton. The newest addition to the clan is Shanghai-born fellow cellist Jiaxin who m...

A Tale of Two Cellos
A Tale of Two Cellos There’s nothing quite like the mellifluous tone of two cellos playing in harmony – and by the end of this attractive disc you’ll be well nigh saturated. In 21 short arrangements, all but one by Julian Lloyd Webber, he and his wife Jiaxin, formerly principal cello in the Auckland Chamber Orchestra, prove their innate musical chemistry in a whole bevy of two-part pieces. Enjoyment there is aplenty among the gracefully flowing lines of pieces like Saint-Saëns’s Ave Maria, th...
A Tale of Two Cellos Review
Two-cello arrangements from husband-and-wife players A Tale of Two Cellos This is expressly a CD for those who enjoy a pair of cellos, beautifully played and blended together in slow lyrical tunes, with a stylish piano accompaniment. I especially enjoyed Greensleeves in Quilter’s version, and the beautiful cello timbre in Pergolesi’s lovely Dolorosa. Dvorak’s Autumn Lament and Schumann’s Summer Calm are also quite haunting. So with Julian Lloyd Webber at the helm, you may enjoy many more of t...
Dynamic Duo
A Tale of Two Cellos Disc of the Day: The cello duo Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber present on this Naxos disc their engaging recital programme more or less from Cadogan Hall last week. He, dishevelled but suave, and she, enjoying his witticisms and playing the more difficult part in a Vivaldi arrangement not on the disc, lean in towards each other in intense dialogue for Piazzolla’s waltz Chiquilin de Bachin. Mostly they play in soothing thirds and sixths, as in the opener Schubert’s Ave Mari...
A Tale of Two Cellos CD Review
A Tale of Two CellosAlthough this disc only contains a handful of works by British composers, it nevertheless demands a mention for the beauty of the playing featured thereon — and, of course, for those couple of English works. The disc ranges from Monteverdi and Pergolesi through to Saint-Saens and Rachmaninov in a rather charming programme that works extremely well as a whole; the first English piece we come across is Holst’s Hymn to the Dawn from the Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda, arrange...
