Every time I listen to this song with my headphones in, the applause at the beginning pierces my ear drums. Every single time. I still haven't learned.
beautiful. the tempo is perfect (a lot of people like to take it pretty fast)and he pays a lot of attention to the dynamics. a very moving performance! bravo!
Julian is as good as the best of them; he plays with acute sensitivity and feel for the music, a reverence, great beauty too, often, almost understatement, which gives an added strength and allure, even a sense of vulnerability,which heightens admiration for his remarkable talent and skill.
The despair of the restraint of pathos gives a subtle beauty to his interpretation, when its explodes and return with more dispair than ever - but still repressed...The best performance of this piece in my opinion
Julian! My childhood hero! It's the 1980s I am in primary school and I saw julian play! Thought wow! Had my first cello at 9 years just landed on British soil as a child of migrant parents! 😍 fell in love with my cello at first sight!
wow, he is absolutely amazing...this interpretation of the piece is so mesmerizing to listen to..fantastic, i love his intimacy within the music, and the look of sincerity when he plays...wonderful..
ohhh......my......god that was so beautiful. his tone was warmand full and he played it so well. i strive to be like him. plus he had an outstanding cello
Webber plays with such fidelity to the composer, clarity and directness. He puts his person in service to the music. An example of clean virtuosity for me.
This is music. Music is all about sharing emotions and if you tell me this didn't give feel anything, you're an emotionless bastard. This is real music.
All music is music. You can listen to and enjoy anything you want, and nobody has the right to judge you or look down on you for it. I like music in dozens of different styles - from Elizabethan polyphony, Baroque and Classical, to rock, metal, folk, and even a little trance and hip-hop. Love whatever you love and don't worry about what's " the best" or "real" music, because music is a personal thing.
I can only dream that when I play this piece in January at the Young Artist Competition I can get within a shadow of how amazingly Julian played this piece. My cello teacher is trying to get me to play with this kind of intensity, and I plan to work even harder on it now that I have heard this! Hopefully if I can even do a third as well as he did I can win the $1000 prize. Wish me luck! Julian is an inspiration to me!
A very exqusite interpretation.Velvet and tears.Ashes and a profond,painful sense of the end of things..that so,and another more,is an Elegie. Something dies...something is borning from the deep mystery of Death.... Julian,you're wonderful in all the aspects... Not only your hair and your talent... ankhsnammon
I'm learning this piece right now and have made such an improvement by listening to this recording of it. It reminds me of all the good times I had with my grandma. Thank you for making this :)
AMAZING!! Simply astonishing. Brilliant work Julian. As I am also playing this piece, I am amazed at Julian Lloyd's ability to express in this beautiful piece by Faure. He plays especially well in the second phrase.
I couldn't have said it better, Robbcarson. While I am certainly not one to shun or dislike metalcore, this song does have a meaning to it and if now-drunk and half dead headbangers wish to find refuge to the burning in their ears they are welcome to the calm peace that this music gives.
This song gives me goosebumps! i love it so very much! I can imagine Edward playing the piano, Rosalie playing the cello, and Bella singing magical, beautiful words to a star-struck audience of thousands.
OMG!! i have absolutely fallen in love with this song! i cant get enough the beginning is beautiful the whole song is absolutely beautiful, this makes me want to learn cello, i play the flute and i definantly wouldnt mind learning cello its beautiful
her seferinde aynı duyguları yaşatan bir eser, muhteşem bir cellist, onun içtenliğiyle eserin bambaşka bir anlam kazanışı... yani tarifsiz. Her eserin bir müzisyeni olduğuna inanıyorum. Nasıl Elgar ile Du Pre'den daha iyi bütünleşen yok ise Elegie ile de Webber'den daha iyi bütünleşebilmiş bir müzisyen olduğuna inanmıyorum. Bir cellist olarak hayalimdir; bir gün bu eseri böylesine hakkını vererek çalmak. sevgiler
The principle cellist in our college's orchestra got an arrangement of this piece for 8 cellos, so he had to round a bunch of us up to run it for him. It was fantastic.
My teacher gave this piece to me to play as my solo, and now I am thoroughly terrified. This is beautiful though. If I can pull it off, I will feel so incredibly accomplished.
That had to be short of a miraculous performance of that piece! JWL is going to set the standard for mastery of the cello much the way that Casals and YYM have. My deepest congratulation on being blessed with such great talent and gifts! Looking forward to seeing what Mr. Lloyd does in the future!
Just enjoy it, instead of comparing this version and that version. I like Webber, Ma, Du Pre, but when my 12 yo plays this, it brings tears to my eyes.
@thomaslenior Thank you! The competition didn't go the way I wished it would have, but hopefully I will do better playing it in another competition this coming weekend. I wish I could play the piano! It is just so beautiful to listen to!
Try this! As a cellist myself I find it amazingly relaxing to sing cello parts. When you listen try to match the pitch of every note. See how easy it is! cause the cello has a timbre closest to that of the human voice, neat huh? Bravo Julian!
beautiful. I'm going to be playing this piece for a contest in a few months, I hope I'll be able to get it to sound at least a fraction as beautiful as this recording . . . . XP
@MickeyBug8 Good luck playing Faure's Elegy at the competition! My love is having a piano concert this Wednesday. She has never heard me at a concert or competition before, so I'll be playing the Elegy at Wednesday's concert as a surprise for her. This recording has inspired me to do so! I wish you all the best in your cello studies.
In my opinion, this piece tells a story just as well as any theatre or visual art piece. In a way, ALL art is story telling; the only difference between music and other forms is that music is more abstract and more emotionally-based.
Every time I listen to this song with my headphones in, the applause at the beginning pierces my ear drums. Every single time. I still haven't learned.

Beautifully accompanied Peter. All chords so wonderfully balanced and bringing out delicious notes even in the middle of the chord. A perfect duo...
wen he does the first repeat, and plays it really diminuendo is like.... the best thing evvvver great video!
I get to play this for my grade 9 cello exam, im so excited! :) It's such a beautiful piece
the first reapeat when it goes Piano is unbelivable, i get chills every time
Julian! My childhood hero! It's the 1980s I am in primary school and I saw julian play! Thought wow! Had my first cello at 9 years just landed on British soil as a child of migrant parents! 😍 fell in love with my cello at first sight!
Makes you want to exist, if only to hear something like this.
Magic.
wow, he is absolutely amazing...this interpretation of the piece is so mesmerizing to listen to..fantastic, i love his intimacy within the music, and the look of sincerity when he plays...wonderful..
i really like his rendition of elegie. it's paper-thin qualities and sensitive balance makes it truly beautiful. bravo, mr. webber!
there are no adequate words, fortunately the music speaks for itself, what an aching rendition.
ohhh......my......god that was so beautiful. his tone was warmand full and he played it so well. i strive to be like him. plus he had an outstanding cello
Webber plays with such fidelity to the composer, clarity and directness. He puts his person in service to the music. An example of clean virtuosity for me.
his slurpy shifts and dynamic contrasts are amazing.
this is absolutely moving...to the point of tears.
Une très grande expression, pour cette magnifique "Elegie" de Gabriel FAURE ! Bravo et Merci à vous deux !!
This is music. Music is all about sharing emotions and if you tell me this didn't give feel anything, you're an emotionless bastard. This is real music.
No words can express the beauty of this music!
i am in love with his hands. it makes all of the shifting look so effortless. i wonder what his range is with those things. so jealous.
the D flat on the last repeat of the theme is one of the best notes i've ever heard
Julian lloyd webber in my opinion is the most artistic solo cellist today. It's beautiful to see him become one with his instrument.
people really need to appreciate him and this song
great performance!!! Both the pianist and cellist were amazing!!! Their connection is just so superb!
fantastic! a whole life passing by in 7 minutes...
Thank you so much for sharing yourself in your soulful music, Julian! It is so beautiful.
Amazing! It must be so great to hear it live...
I think I just fell in love with this interpretation of Elegie

Bellísimo. Julian Lloyd Webber, uno de mis músicos preferidos. Excelente!!
its impossible to listen to this powerful and emotional music... to appreciate it fully, you do not listen to it. you feel it.
I heard this live yesterday. This peace is just written for him
best cello piece ever..
A very exqusite interpretation.Velvet and tears.Ashes and a profond,painful sense of the end of things..that so,and another more,is an Elegie.
Something dies...something is borning from the deep mystery of Death....
Julian,you're wonderful in all the aspects...
Not only your hair and your talent...
ankhsnammon

AMAZING!! Simply astonishing. Brilliant work Julian. As I am also playing this piece, I am amazed at Julian Lloyd's ability to express in this beautiful piece by Faure. He plays especially well in the second phrase.
Excellent! I thought I played this some time ago with a cellist, now i see we just scratched the surface. This is the Elegie,,
It was so beautiful that it bright tears to my eyes
I couldn't have said it better, Robbcarson. While I am certainly not one to shun or dislike metalcore, this song does have a meaning to it and if now-drunk and half dead headbangers wish to find refuge to the burning in their ears they are welcome to the calm peace that this music gives.

By far the best interpretation I've ever heard.
I love this interpretation.Bravo Julian.

Tre bela muziko.Dankon Julian,kaj bela melodio..

E super!Concentrarea sunetului e evidenta,linia gandirii se urmareste continuu.Interpretarea piesei are putere de convingere!
just amazing!
beautiful... just beautiful...♥♪♫♪♥
That had to be short of a miraculous performance of that piece! JWL is going to set the standard for mastery of the cello much the way that Casals and YYM have. My deepest congratulation on being blessed with such great talent and gifts! Looking forward to seeing what Mr. Lloyd does in the future!
C'est magnifique, la façon d'allier le vibrato avec le morceau....
This piece gives me chills every time, especially knowing Faure dedicated it to his best friend who died.
sublime
Just enjoy it, instead of comparing this version and that version. I like Webber, Ma, Du Pre, but when my 12 yo plays this, it brings tears to my eyes.
Both the piano and the cello sou in sound beautiful in separate and together...
I LOVE THIS Beautiful...
Love it!
I'm going to his bithday concert at the Royal Festival Hall on April 14th!
Magnificient!!!
@thomaslenior Thank you! The competition didn't go the way I wished it would have, but hopefully I will do better playing it in another competition this coming weekend. I wish I could play the piano! It is just so beautiful to listen to!
4:48 fantastic execution!
That is so beautiful to say! Great description! =)
I'm more into the du Pres and the Rostropoviches, but this piece has really made me warm to Julian...
Wow this is amazing!
TODA LA FAMILIA LLOYD WEBBER ES FANTASTICAMENTE MUSICAL.
EL CELO ES MARAVILLOSO
素敵な朝の目覚めの曲になりました。有難う。
Try this! As a cellist myself I find it amazingly relaxing to sing cello parts. When you listen try to match the pitch of every note. See how easy it is! cause the cello has a timbre closest to that of the human voice, neat huh? Bravo Julian!
Wow
Top man , Top performance :D
beautiful. I'm going to be playing this piece for a contest in a few months, I hope I'll be able to get it to sound at least a fraction as beautiful as this recording . . . . XP
I am Playing this song on Bass Clarinet. It is awesome!!!!!!!!

Amazing!
Il est sensationnel
Julian Lloyd Webber is far more brilliant than myself!
This is my SONGGGG even though it a funeral song idc
In my opinion, this piece tells a story just as well as any theatre or visual art piece. In a way, ALL art is story telling; the only difference between music and other forms is that music is more abstract and more emotionally-based.
Fantastic! !
