From the tenderness of Faur’s songs to the famous Sonata by Franck, via Honnor, Bsser and Enescu, the viola here champions the French School in it’s widest sense: full of lyricism, sophistication and intensity, here is a program to match the abilities of Timothy Ridout and his partner at the piano, Jonathan Ware.
