Star British cellist Jamie Walton returns to Signum with a program of Russian repertoire by Glazunov, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky. Joined by the Royal Philharmonic under Okko Kamu, the disc includes the original version of Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme. “This is probably the best performance of the Elgar Cello Concerto that I have heard. [Jamie] Walton cannot be beaten. I shall treasure this recording – literally: I shall hoard it against a musically rainy day.” (The Elgar Society Journal – Signum: Elgar & Myaskovsky (SIGCD116))
