- Renowned solo cellist.
- In 2014, he was forced to retire from cello playing by a neck injury which has weakened his bowing arm.
- He made his professional debut at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London in 1972, when he gave the first London performance of the Cello Concerto by Sir Arthur Bliss.
- He was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to music. He is a cellist and professor in London, Greater London, England.
- Younger brother of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
- I think an awful lot of the rock bands for the last ten years or so, they've been very aware of classical music. You take a band like Radiohead and going back to Pink Floyd and Genesis, they did a lot of things based on classical music.
- We're talking about 500 or 600 years of music, all in different styles. How can you compare Purcell (Henry Purcell) with Philip Glass (Philip Glass) and everything in between? There is good music and bad music. The music that is being written today by people who would be called classical composers is taking in different influences, such as world music.
