Jamie Walton is a conviction cellist, playing the music he feels is most timely rather than what the industry demands…the Shostakovich sonatas is among the most affecting performances I have heard since Rostropovich died. Norman Lebrecht, 4****

David Mellor’s Connoisseurs Choice (Classic FM)
“Jamie Walton’s mature cello timbre and perceptiveness in matters of interpretation are winningly applied to this coupling of two 19th-century sonatas. His musical partnership with Daniel Grimwood brings special immediacy and finesse to these performances, in which Saint-Saëns’s Second Sonata asserts both lyrical sweep and dramatic tension, the more familiar Chopin Sonata sounding fresh, supple of phrasing and subtle in expressive nuance. Finely honed stylistic judgment here goes hand in hand with re-creative panache.” Telegraph 5*****, June 2011
