Full Description
The explosive, no-holds-barred account of the life of a globally
renowned classical musician, Julian Lloyd Webber's autobiography lifts the lid
on a world previously shrouded in mystery.
From vivid descriptions of Julian's childhood in one of the world's
most famous musical dynasties to unfiltered stories from his collaborations
with such stars as Elton John, Yehudi Menuhin, Stephane Grappelli, Philip
Glass, and his brother, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bows and Arrows reveals a
cut-throat world of agents, promoters, record companies, violin dealers and
substance abuse, laying bare the classical music profession as never before.
With refreshing honesty and humour, Julian recounts the break-up of
three of his four marriages, his lifelong passion for ensuring that every child
should have a chance to play a musical instrument and his devastation at the
2014 injury that forced him to stop playing and sell his Stradivarius cello. This
earth-shattering loss, however, led to a new calling, prompting Julian's
appointment as principal of a leading royal conservatoire and his re-emergence
as a tireless champion of music education, working closely with politicians
including Gordon Brown, Michael Gove and Boris Johnson.
Culminating in Julian's return to the stage for the first time in
twelve years, this is a powerful story of passion, loss and a life reborn.
