- Exclusive Philips artist since 1984, Julian Lloyd Webber has brought many new listeners to the cell. His recent recording of Britten's Cello Symphony coupled with Walton's Cello Concerto with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and Sir Neville Marriner was released to great critical acclaim.

- "Lloyd Webber plays out Britten's dark drama with deep conviction and he is ardent in the better known, sunnier and vivacious Walton Concerto. " (BBC Music Magazine).

- This time, Julian has recorded the rarely coupled composers Grieg and Delius. Despite their 25-year age gap, the composers have a long friendship. Delius would recall: "I was very proud of having made his acquaintance, for since childhood I had loved his music...when I first heard Grieg, it was as if a breath of mountain air had come to me."
