Classical Music 2nd June 1979
Frank Bridge Oration (first public performance) Bridge Cello Concerto (Oration)
“To secure a performance of Oration was a remarkable coup; this imposing 28-minute cello concerto is practically unknown, a situation which will be rectified later this year when a recording by Julian Lloyd Webber, the soloist on this occasion, is issued. His commitment to it was evidenced by playing of superb technical accomplishment and magnificent passion.”
