JULIAN LLOYD WEBBER by Margaret Campbell
Today, at fifty, Julian Lloyd Webber enjoys an international reputation as one of our leading British cellists. But behind that success there is a strange dysfunctional family. He and his brother Andrew were totally undisciplined and had no role models. Their father, William, was a brilliant composer who considered himself a failure and became an alcoholic whilst their mother was totally dedicated to her teaching. Drawing on exclusive interviews with both his ex-wives, his brother Andrew, and those closest to his parents, renowned authority on string players Margaret Campbell gives a frank and honest account of the psychological effect of his childhood upon the development of his career, his obsession with the cello and the drive to succeed, while Julian talks openly about the failure of his two marriages and his hopes for the future.
Margaret Campbell is a well known authority on music. She has previously written books including The Great Violinists (Doubleday), The Great Cellists (Gollancz), Purcell (Hutchinson), as well as having contributed countless articles for magazines such as The Strad and BBC Music Magazine.
