having watched Benjamin Zander's boston phil. masterclass on this piece, i've been searching for an even-better-than-the-best interpretation of Fauré's Élégie Op. 24 for such a long time, this performance was the first i viewed. i've listened and seen many others of different arrangements, instrumentations, dynamics and tempos, but i keep coming back to this outstandingly remarkable performance by Timothy Ridout and his viola. absolutely pouring with emotions and grief.
I don't think it's as intense here as it was there, the masterclass moves me a grown man to tears but this is still still top notch. A different experience.
The best viola account I've seen on UA-cam - extremely good and extremely enjoyable.
A legendary performance full of passion, excitement, death and it melts into the background-it deserved more enthusiastic applause.
I agree
In England???
Probably the most heartfelt interpretation I’ve never heard! Extraordinary.
No words... just music being magic 👏👏👏
That E flat (4:50) sounds like a cannon. I love it.
I was searching a comment which was talking about that. I agree 100%. Most of recordings play this moment without contact on that E. This is why this version is absolutely iconic for me. The way he arrives to that E from 4:48 and the fact that he's not slowing down too much is way more emotional and well played as all other version i heard in my life.
Jesus... what a fine viola.
It's not the viola. It's the violist
@voilaviolamh its not a fiddle a fiddle is a violin
@@leef7112 or viola. It comes from the old English word "fithele".
Pinchas Zukerman also said that a fiddler is just someone who has taught themselves to play a violin/ viola/ cello or similar and the word fiddle is just slang for those string instruments.
It is indeed a GREAT instrument played by a wonderful violist!!
The pianist has a gorgeous sound ❤❤❤ beautiful piece ❤❤❤ thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
아름다운 연주 너무
잘 들었습니다 ❤️
God your playing gives me chills
What an enormous talent. Fabulous playing, heartrendingly beautiful interpretation.
That is one good sounding viola! Exceptional playing to match it!
Much nice selection of octave range than those usually played. Very nice playing!
Beautiful masterpiece
WOW what a beautiful version congratulations! spectacular 👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutley beautiful performance! Hope to hear more from you in the future....
An extraordinary performance. It sounds as though it was conceived for the viola.
I never heard you play before and what a lovely surprise. Real viola sound . Beautiful playing! Eric Shumsky
The piano was amazing.🌺
This is the best his viola has ever sounded in my opinion! The C and G strings are very beefy and 'boomy', but when he plays [other] pieces (and you may hear a bit of this around the 5:00 mark) the A string tends to sound a little bright and especially when he's applying a lot of bow pressure.... it can sound a little bit like razor wire rather than a classic deep viola A string. Perhaps it's just my ears. I'm a luthier, and I know that personally: I'd adjust the soundpost and also consider what other A strings could balance with the other strings to make the viola warmer, whilst also keeping the projection.
That was wonderful!
Beautiful interpretation of this beautiful work for cello!
i think i’m in love 😳
Szerelmes voltam amikor a doplomakoncertemen játszottam. Először csellón hallottam és nagyon beleszerettem. (a csellistába is)
hope I can play like that one day, I'm doing this piece for level 10 viola.
Very beautiful...
great performance , Keep it up it's inspiring!
AN AMAZING YOUNG VIOLIST!!!!!!!
Agree
Beautiful - thank you.
wonderful sound, pure music.
Very beautiful!
Incredible..
A....MAZING!
beautiful
Sublime.
Amazing...
Having just discovered this piece for cello I find it works as well, IMO, for the viola. However being particularly partial to the viola may have something to do with this opinion.😅 Wonderful to hear this at last.
Oh WOW!
wunderbar !!
Hermoso.
Muy bueno!!
Nice playing! Get that viola sound, ohhh yeah!
el mejor....
Beautiful and soulful playing. Can you let me know who the violist is?
Timothy Ridout, hope it helps 2 months later haha
Why does he use a Violin bow on the viola?
How do you know
@@joy950453 The frog (black bit at the end of the bow where the right hand is) of a violin bow is pointy whereas a viola's is rounded
Pa valjda zato jer mu je to zgodnije.
Where can I find the notes?
Muitooooo booom.
This was the version I learnt when I played. Tempo starts off a bit on the quick side for my preference but a stunning tone and musicality
Which edition is this?
Maggini viola ^^

@@raqy920 that is not the version he is playing.. some of the parts are on a different register.. I like his version better and I can't manage to find it !
amazing Ridout, excellent my friend! Yuri agrees, I guess
2:10 -> mes 17
3:48 -> mes 21
Man this was my love for all of 8th and most of high school till I cheated and had an amazing affair with cello lol
My daughter won All-State her senior year with this, my eyes are leaking again. Omg, goes right through me. Violas rule.
this would never sound good on a violin
Great playing but I'm afraid the page turner steals the show 😉
