CLASSICAL

Julian Lloyd Webber’s bold start to Saint-Saens’s A minor Cello Concerto finds the essence of urgency in the music right away, going on to develop a mature bloom of sound. He plays the perennial Faure Elegie with an endearing freshness of grief-laden emotion, tastefully judged, unintrusive in its expression. Honegger’s Cello Concerto is a welcome and uncommon inclusion. Lloyd Webber is a persuasive, probing protagonist. Geoffrey Norris
