Not just a brilliant virtuoso player but a revolutionary force, Pablo Casals fundamentally redefined the art of playing the cello with his innovative approach and technique. Recognised in his own time as a performer without equal, his influence continues to touch musicians all over the world to this day.

Yet Casals was also a man who resolutely stood up for fairness and peace, using his international fame to protest against injustice and fascism, earning him the respect of world leaders from the President of the United States to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of his birth, Viva Casals! draws on his own words and the recollections of others to bring to life his wit, wisdom, idealism and faith in humanity. Edited by Julian Lloyd Webber, one of the most creative musicians of his generation, this is a vivid portrait of a rare genius.

Julian Lloyd Webber is one of the leading musicians of our time. As a solo cellist, he played with the world's greatest orchestras in the world's most famous concert halls and recorded with musical legends including Yehudi Menuhin, Georg Solti, Stephane Grappelli and Elton John. His recording of Elgar's Cello Concerto won the Classical Brit Award in 1978, and his album Variations won a gold disc within five weeks of its release. In 2008, Julian founded the UK government's In Harmony programme, which facilitates access to music for children from less-privileged backgrounds.

Julian was the only classical musician chosen to play at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.In 2014, a neck injury reduced the power of his bowing arm, forcing his retirement as a cellist. The following year, he was appointed principal of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, a role which he held for five years. He continues to support young musicians through regular television and radio programmes on rising classical stars.
