麻豆社 Radio 3 New Generation Artist violist, Timothy Ridout who will shortly be graduating from the scheme has been much in demand across Europe as a concerto soloist and he has established himself equally as a leading recitalist and chamber musician alongside distinguished musicians such as Joshua Bell, Janine Jansen, Benjamin Grosvenor, Lars Vogt and others. In this recital he is joined by the German pianist Frank Dupree. The concert begins with Pensiero and Appassionato by Frank Bridges that recalls the sound world of Ravel and Debussy. Praeludium and Allegro is a piece originally for violin and piano written by Fritz Kreisler and falsely ascribed by Kreisler to Gaetano Pugnani. Faure's Elegie was originally written for cello and piano and is beautifully suited to the warm tones of the viola and despite having written some 160 works, Edwin York Bowen's music is relatively unheard in concert halls, so Timothy Ridout and Frank Dupree bring his romantic Sonata No 1 to an appreciative Cowdray Hall audience.
