A Tale of Two Cellos: Gramophone – Julian Lloyd Webber

A Tale of Two Cellos Review

Two-cello arrangements from husband-and-wife players

A Tale of Two Cellos This is expressly a CD for those who enjoy a pair of cellos, beautifully played and blended together in slow lyrical tunes, with a stylish piano accompaniment.

I especially enjoyed Greensleeves in Quilter’s version, and the beautiful cello timbre in Pergolesi’s lovely Dolorosa. Dvorak’s Autumn Lament and Schumann’s Summer Calm are also quite haunting. So with Julian Lloyd Webber at the helm, you may enjoy many more of these arrangements – particularly if the disc is dipped into. The recording is beautifully balanced and natural.
