John Toal introduces the second of four recitals featuring recent graduate of the ±«Óãtv Radio 3 New Generation Artist, the British viola player Timothy Ridout and friends.

They were recorded in St. Mark’s Church, Dundela in East Belfast: the church in which CW Lewis was baptised and where his grandfather was rector.

Timothy is one of the most sought-after violists of his generation and delivered some unique chamber music collaborations during his time with the Radio 3 scheme. Today he’s joined by four other starry string players – including his wife, the Taiwanese-born violist Ting-Ru Lai – and the South African pianist James Baillieu, for performances of works by Brahms, Vaughan Williams and Webern.
