In addition to this deeply moving work, he gives us a powerful, poetic reading of Bloch’s all too rarely performed Suite for Viola and Orchestra, in which the Swiss composer indulged his fascination with the Orient.
Reviews
Timothy Ridout is a strong, personable player whose deft handling of the Scherzo and heartfelt playing of the Adagio make the concerto’s central episodes exceptionally memorable. He also elevates the opening recitative to a level of defiance that most cello-led alternatives can’t quite manage. ... As Bloch recordings go (sadly there are still too few of them on the market), this is without question one of the finest. The music is quite simply glorious, more than a match for the Elgar Concerto.
