Viola player Timothy Ridout with Bach, Bartok and a bagatelle

Viola player Timothy Ridout opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Timothy Ridout is a viola player who鈥檚 fascinated by the way our emotions can be stirred by musical performance. His choices today include mezzo-soprano Lorraine Hunt Lieberson channelling both tragedy and hope in a song by Robert Schumann and a visceral moment from Mozart鈥檚 Requiem.

He also features Inside Music regular Sean Shibe playing a trance-inducing guitar miniature.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
