Timothy Ridout and Tom Poster play Brahms viola sonatas
From London's Wigmore Hall, Timothy Ridout and Tom Poster play Brahms's two viola sonatas and a world premiere by Kurt Schwertsik.
Timothy Ridout's and Tom Poster's programme is built around two cornerstones of the violist's repertoire. Brahms's two sonatas, so full of that characteristic combination of consolation, melancholy and nostalgia that pervades his later music, were originally for clarinet but the versions he made for viola fit the instrument perfectly. In between, a world premiere specially written for today's concert by veteran Viennese composer Kurt Schwertsik whose music is so often cheeky and slyly subversive.
Recorded at Wigmore Hall, 10th May 2021.
Presented by Andrew McGregor.
