Cellos and Lightbulbs

[qos]

My daughter told me that it wasn't a school assembly that left her enthralled with the cello, as I had thought, it was Julian Lloyd Weber's performance of "Variations On A Theme By Paganini" during the Royal Albert Hall Tribute to Andrew Lloyd Weber, which we have on DVD and enjoy watching together. It's a fiery piece, with a lot of drama and variety. In fact, it's quite possibly the only truly dramatic solo instrumental she's ever witnessed.

I'm glad that it made such a powerful impression on her. She told me this evening that if she starts practicing now, she will be able to play that piece, that well, when she is his age.

Go, girl!

(I don't suppose any of you friends have Weber's Variations on CD?)

Do you mean you finally sent the dvd to us, or that you finally just wrote to Mike?

We have Netflix, so I tried earlier this week to look up the dvd you were talking about and see if I could just put it in our queue. Is it, "Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Royal Albert Hall Celebration?" If so, it's already on its way here, so you don't have to send us your copy.

Let me know! Have a great weekend.

Finally wrote to Mike.

It is indeed the Royal Albert Hall Celebration.

Thanks so much for doing this!
