Jamie Walton
With a powerful and penetrating sound, Jamie Walton is becoming increasingly renowned for his purity of tone, emotionally engaging interpretations and relentless commitment to the music he believes in. Compared by critics to some of the great 'cellists of the past he takes great inspiration from an era when music was about individualism, not competition. Although born in Germany Jamie was brought up in Britain and on hearing the 'cello at the age of seven immediately decided this was his future with unwavering certainty. After winning a scholarship to Wells Cathedral School and then the Royal Northern College of Music to study with the much missed Margaret Moncrieff he graduated with top qualifications going on to become one of the late William Pleeth's last students who wrote of Jamie: "He is a cellist of outstanding performance ability. Combining warmth of tone with a technical command that reaches dazzling proportions, he leaves little doubt as the success that lies ahead of him—he is a musician of great integrity whose performance gives great pleasure."
