About

Lionel Tertis (1876-1975), a great genius of the viola, is little known to today’s public. Timothy Ridout pays tribute to this key figure in his instrument’s history with a flamboyant programme featuring music by Tertis’s friends, teachers and students alongside some of his own original works and transcriptions. A marvellous musical journey, rich in discoveries.

“The readings seethe with fiery, dramatic insight and ear-grabbing empathy”

Paul Riley – BBC Music magazine – March 2024

Editor’s Choice – April 2024

“…this is a lyrical smorgasbord that should appeal to lovers of the viola or of chamber music in general.” ****½

Clive Paget – Limelightmagazine.com.au – 26 February 2023

“Timothy Ridout's warm tribute to Lionel Tertis moves between powerful dramatic utterance and more domesticated, salon pieces, with every piece in a finely judged performance.”

Robert Hugill – planethugill.com – 15 February 2024
