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.
