A Tale of Two Cellos, Julian Lloyd Webber's new CD, out Monday 30th September, has topped two Amazon charts after only two days from its release! 21 arrangements for two cellos and piano/harp (4 cellos in the case of the Holst!) with Julian Lloyd Webber and his wife and fellow cellist Jiaxin, pianist John Lenehan, harpist Catrin Finch and former BBC Young Musician of the Year cellists Guy Johnston and Laura Van der Heijden.
From Monteverdi to Arvo Part, also Schumann, Saint Saens, Holst, Piazzolla and many more, what a collection!!! A true gem to add to any music library.
