I remember listening to the variations album over and over when I was young, It came out when I was just 5 your old. I guess my late father bought it and I became obsessed. I Just bought the album again 33 years later and know the whole thing off by heart and am flooded with some great memories. Many thanks to the Webber's and all evolved for this fantastic album.
20 years ago I owned an Andrew Lloyd Webber's collection that included this song. It was one of my favorites. Thank you for posting this. It is great to hear and see.
Sadly Julian has this week announced that he has had to give up playing due to a disc problem in his neck which has an effect on the strength in his right (bow) arm. However he will continue to conduct and, thanks to posts like this one, we can still appreciate the genius at his best :)
I danced to Variations in a ballet performance when I was six. I will never forget it.... Years later when I got back into musicals, I found this song and I remembered it. It remains one of my favourite classical/rock interpretations - ever. Julian is a fascinating cellist.
I have the whole album of Variations on pristine vinyl. It's the best thing Andrew has ever done... SERIOUSLY! Try to get hold of it... it's brilliant!
On of my all time favorite tunes and a personal favorite version :). Also it's great to hear there are 13 and 14 year old who enjoy this sort of music. Can't say rap is one of my favorite types of music either.
My 13 year old daughter has been playing the cello for two years now, but promised yesterday to learn to play Variations for me. She must have been serious, because she went looking for a video of it being played just hours after we listened to it on Andrew's "Now and Forever" compilation. This version is stunning, and Julian is definitely a master cellist. Now I just need to find some sheet music for her!
