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.

March 2024
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.
February 2024
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.
26th January 2024
it’s a treat to bask in the range of colours which Ridout draws from his middle and lower registers here, his overall sound noticeably less brawny than it was on his recording of the Elgar concerto now that he’s not working hard to project over an orchestral backdrop conceived for a more powerful instrument...Could another Ridout/Tertis awards triumph be on the cards for 2024? I’d say the odds are good.
1st February 2024
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.
