‘What I like most is that Lloyd Webber knows how string players breath, understands how the bow works.’
‘There is a real sense of harmony with the players and as a result Julian gets really characterful soloistic playing out of the English Chamber Orchestra.’
‘It’s a joy to listen to, fabulous stuff and Julian brings a lushness to the strings.’
‘Elgar’s Sospiri – .the richness and beauty of the playing, sublimely encapsulated in the one piece.’
