Elgar: Viola Concerto & Bloch: Suite For Viola and Orchestra

Recommended

Timothy Ridout (viola), BBC Symphony Orchestra, Martyn Brabbins

Ridout’s account of the opening movement is full of richly rhapsodic playing , although the viola suggests more of a wistful musing than the deeper, elegiac contemplation possible on the cello. — BBC Music Magazine, March 2023, 4 out of 5 starsMore…
