Notes

Originally composed for 3 cellos 'Archangel's Lullaby' was composed as a congratulation present sent to Steven and Pauline Isserlis on the birth of their son Gabriel. The solo part (cello I) was intended for a young cellist and at the first performance was played delightfully by Simon Wallfisch, then aged 7. 

Reviews

...has a Faure-like sensibility that must please the cellist (an admitted Faure fanatic) no end.
