Cellist Julian Lloyd Webber finds immediacy and rapture in music
Julian Lloyd Webber opens up a selection of classical music from his point of view of a music educator and former cellist - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Music educator and former cellist Julian Lloyd Webber introduces a wide-ranging selection of pieces, from Frederick Delius鈥檚 concisely constructed Song before Sunrise, to the loudest live performance he ever heard - a track by the band Cream.
He also discovers conductor Evgeny Svetlanov playing the piano in a little-known chorus by Rachmaninov, and wonders whether the cellist Pierre Fournier produced such a recognisable sound because of the shape of his fingers.
Plus Julian remembers how when he and his brother Andrew were flummoxed by a particular chord in a Beach Boys song, their father William Lloyd Webber came to the rescue.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
