Although conceived by utterly divergent characters in lands and times that engender few similarities these days, the cello concertos by Elgar and Myaskovsky make a fascinating coupling. Both men were in their early sixties when writing what was their only concertante work for the instrument, and the prevailing mood of both concertos is one of aristocratic wistfulness married to a mastery of form and rhetoric.
Jamie Walton studied at Wells Cathedral School and the RNCM with Margaret Moncrieff before taking private tuition with William Pleeth who wrote of Jamie: "He is a cellist of outstanding performance ability. Combining warmth of tone with a technical command that reaches dazzling proportions, he leaves little doubt as the success that lies ahead of him.”
"I really cannot praise this performance too highly. Walton cannot be beaten. I shall treasure this recording - literally: I shall hoard it against a musically rainy day: I shall play it from time to time, to restore my faith in the work If I ever again have the misfortune to hear too many inadequate performances. It will, I am sure, do the job every time."
