Product Details
In their debut recording for harmonia mundi, the young viola prodigy Timothy Ridout and his musical accomplice Frank Dupree celebrate the power of love, with selections from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, performed in Borisovsky's popular arrangement, and with their own transcription of Schumann's Dichterliebe. The voice of the heart and the soul of candor, here the viola displays an astonishing range of emotions and expressive colors - from boisterous to tender or introspective in the Prokofiev excerpts, while also mirroring the myriad nuances of Heine's poems in Schumann's sublime musical love letter to his Clara.
