Jamie Walton (cello)

Philharmonia Orchestra, Alexander Briger

Jamie Walton's second disc with Signum promises to follow in the formidable footsteps of his first release with the Philharmonia, where he played Elgar and Myaskovsky.The critical reaction to this disc has been phenomenal, from both mainstream papers and musical journals. Jamie's performance of the Elgar has also received a large amount of airplay support from Classic FM and much interest has already been expressed in this new recording.

Steven Isserlis (cello)

City of London Sinfonia, Richard Hickox

“Two of the most important British cello-orchestra works in very good but not quite top-rank performances. Speeds in the Britten are a little slow and Isserlis's cello is sometimes lost in orchestra detail, but a recommendable account of Bridge's Oration.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 ***
