National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain at Cadogan Hall with Julian Lloyd Webber
Julian Lloyd Webber joined the NCO for two short pieces: in Faure’s haunting Elegie his rich tone told well against the very fine orchestral balance under Gavin Sutherland’s conducting, and the rare Frank Bridge Scherzetto proved a delightful foil. These two works were quite beautifully played and projected with genuine character. A recording of the concert was made, so the truth of this assessment can be readily demonstrated.
