A Span of Time is a collection of 4 CD albums for cello, orchestra and piano (or harp). It includes the last recordings made by cellist Julian Lloyd Webber before his debut recording as conductor and shortly after his forced retirement from public performance due to injury in 2014.[1]

The recordings feature cellists Julian Lloyd Webber and his wife Jiaxin Cheng, the English Chamber Orchestra, the European Union Chamber Orchestra, as well as pianist John Lenehan, harpist Catrin Finch and two former BBC Young Musician of the Year winners Guy Johnston and Laura van der Heijden.
