'To say that I\\x92ve always had a great love for these sublime works is an understatement. I grew up knowing the sonatas by Brahms as so many cellists do \\x96 the E minor in particular being a piece I\\x92ve played since I was 12 (although I\\x92m sure not very well back then) so to me, playing these works feels like coming home.' The programme also includes transcriptions of Brahms\\x92 Four Serious Songs (arr Shafran) which LaFollette describes as growing to love \\x91by osmosis\\x92 through hearing them at home, performed by his parents (his father a classically trained amateur musician, doctor and computer scientist and his mother a professional pianist). He describes this project as inspired by 'Home and family. Two very important facets of both my existence as a human being and as an artist.' LaFollette has a rich and varied career as an international soloist and chamber musician. After being launched by YCAT (Young Classical Artists Trust) he went on to win first prize at The Arts Club\\x92s and Decca Records\\x92 inaugural Classical Music Award. He was also the first recipient of the Irish Chamber Orchestra\\x92s Ard\\xe1n Award. Hailed by the Irish Times for being \\x93as free in touching the heartstrings as he was in dashing off dazzling runs\\x94, Bartholomew\\x92s highlights with orchestra include performances of Dvo?\\xe1k\\x92s Cello Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Walton and Elgar Cello concertos in the Barbican Hall as well as appearing as soloist with the City of London Sinfonia. In 2011 at the age of twenty-six, Bartholomew LaFollette was appointed Principal Cello Teacher at the distinguished Yehudi Menuhin School. Bartholomew plays on an especially fine example of a Giovanni Dollenz cello from 1841 and a bow by Fran\\xe7ois Xavier Tourte from 1790.\u003cp\u003e1. I.
