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.

"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." - Gramophone Magazine, February 2024
