Schumann Cello Concerto, Queen Elizabeth Hall, London

English Chamber Orchestra/Stephen Barlow

“Julian Lloyd Webber took an unusually leisurely view of Schumann’s Cello Concerto…..it was good to hear the elaborate passages as real music, not scrambled through. The slow movement once or twice trembled on the edge of sentimentality but this was a warm and communicative performance.”
