The fact that Timothy Ridout has recorded a whole album of music for unaccompanied viola before the age of thirty is a telling indication of the meteoric rise of this prodigious, boundary-pushing artist. As is his choice of contrasting the Baroque era (Telemann and Bach) with two figures of modern music, in Britten’s rarely heard Elegy and Caroline Shaw’s in manus tuas. This program is a breathtaking ode to the viola over the centuries, played with all the fire of youth.
