The overall sound quality is rather average as for the most part those pieces were recorded in 1978 on analog equipment. Nevertheless Webber's performance is quite remarkable and provides the listener with a good relaxing atmosphere as expected. Julian Lloyd Webber is the second son of the composer William Lloyd Webber and is the younger brother of the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lloyd Webber was a scholar at University College School and at the Royal College of Music (London)[2] and completed his studies with Pierre Fournier in Geneva in 1973. He made his professional debut at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London in September 1972 when he gave the first London performance of the cello concerto by Sir Arthur Bliss.
