Webber:Eu Co:Hofmann - Vivaldi: Concertos For Two Cellos

The first arranger of Vivaldi's concertos was Vivaldi himself, and Julian�Lloyd Webber's new versions in this recording reflect the composer's�pragmatic attitude and zest for experiment. Vivaldi's�Concerto in G�minor RV 531�is his only original concerto for two cellos. Alongside�this appear works both popular and recently discovered, the mercurial�moods of the cellos representing instruments from mandolins�to hunting horns. Piazzolla's�Milonga�displays all of his most�distinctive hallmarks. Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber's acclaimed�album�A Tale of Two Cellos�can be found on Naxos 8.573251.This release follows Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber's�highly successful album�A Tale of Two Cellos�(8.573251), with its�two cellos beautifully played and blended together (Gramophone)�and considered a thing of rare beauty by�The Strad. This�recording of Vivaldi concertos will have poignant associations and�special value for Julian's many fans, as he has since been forced�to withdraw from performing due to injury. Vivaldi's ever popular�music dressed anew by such an internationally outstanding�artist is a guarantee of global interest and very substantial sales.
