CELEBRATED cellist Julian Lloyd Webber will be at Worcester's Huntingdon Hall on Sunday to perform a one-off concert of favourite compositions.

As well as Bach's Adagio in G, Bridge's Scherzetto, Britten's Scherzo-Pizzicato for Cello, Faure's Elegy, Brahams' Cello Concerto in E minor Op38, he will perform Nocturne, written by his father William Lloyd Webber.

He said: "These are all favourite pieces of mine. They are completely my choice for a very romantic programme. There are several links between the pieces, especially between my father's piece and Rachmaninov's Cello Sonata in G minor. Rachmaninov was my father's favourite composer.

"I like to talk to the audience and will be telling personal stories about the pieces. It will be a little bit different. When you play in a smaller place, it gives you an opportunity to create more of a rapport with the audience."

Earlier this year the London-based cellist celebrated his 50th birthday by performing two works especially written for him by James McMillan and Philip Glass. Since 1984, he been exclusive to Philips/Universal and has made more than 50 first recordings, including Frank Bridge's Oration and Britten's Cello Suite No 3. He also won much acclaim for his recording of Elgar's Cello Concerto with Sir Yehudi Menuhin and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

In August, during a visit to Malvern Theatres, Mr Lloyd Webber expressed his love of Elgar's music and Malvern, revealing that he hopes to be buried at Little Malvern Priory.

Tickets the concert at 3pm on Sunday are £19.50, available from the box office on 01905 611427.
