Editor's info:
This beautifully-performed and curated recital paints a vivid picture of the great violist in his capacities as commissioner, composer and arranger - featuring works by composers including York Bowen, Rebecca Clarke, Eric Coates, Frank Bridge and William Henry Reed.
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.

BBC Music Magazine * * * * *
From imposing sonatas to salon bonbons, these recordings constitute a deft salute not just to Tertis the man and multifaceted musician, but also to an enduring legacy which lives on in distinguished successors – not least among them Timothy Ridout himself.

Gramophone Magazine
All told, it’s a most rewarding programme that gathers together an unusual array of ear-catching pieces in performances that present the music in its best possible light.

The Guardian * * * *
Both [sonatas] are played with wonderful sensitivity and effortlessly glowing tone by Ridout, but he and his colleagues lavish just as much attention and care on the 15 smaller-scale works with which they complete the discs...Anyone who enjoys fine string playing shouldn’t hesitate to sample these performances.
