This diverse programme of English music for strings from the English Chamber Orchestra is conducted by Julian Lloyd Webber and includes two world premiere recordings: Howard Goodall’s moving And the Bridge is Love, on which Julian plays cello for the last time (due to a medical condition), and Julian’s father William Lloyd Webber’s The Moon, only performed for the first time in 2014. There are also established classics from Elgar as well as novelties in the case of the previously unrecorded arrangements by Elgar’s friend and biographer W.H. Reed of the two Chansons.

“With the exception of Howard Goodall’s beautiful new piece, this is music I have known and loved for many years and I relished the chance to conduct it!” – Julian Lloyd Webber
