This much I know: Julian Lloyd Webber

I only took up cello because my mother failed at teaching me the piano, so, I asked to play a different instrument.

I grew up in a chaotic, bohemian household, almost anything went. But there was an unspoken truth that you had to be good at what you did.

My father was a musician and my mother taught piano to young children. Growing up in such a musical family was always a huge advantage. My brother [Andrew] was already writing and playing by the time I was four or five — but there was no pressure on me to follow a musical career.
