An acknowledged expert on Puccini, Julian restored the original version of Madama Butterfly, which has been widely performed and also recorded. He collaborated with the late Sir Charles Mackerras on editions of some of Handel's operas. As well as arranging many songs for singers such as Bryn Terfel, Suzanne Murphy and Dennis O'Neill, he was also the principal arranger for the young Charlotte Church, creating no less than thirty arrangments for her early discs, including the ever-popular "Silent Night".
