About
Variations is a Classical/Rock fusion album by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Andrew Lloyd Webber and younger brother Julian Lloyd Webber were always very close, but their two different careers (a rock musical composer and a classical cellist) meant that a collaboration seemed unlikely. It wasn't until Julian beat his brother in a bet on a Leyton Orient football match that Andrew was forced to write his cello work. As his subject, Andrew chose the theme of niccolo Paganini's Caprice No. 24 in A minor and added 23 variations for cello and rock band. The work premiered at the 1977 Sydmonton Festival .
