Born in London in 1995, Timothy studied at the Royal Academy of Music graduating with the Queen’s Commendation for Excellence. He was selected by YCAT in 2016 and is currently at the Kronberg Academy with Nobuko Imai.
Timothy plays on a viola by Peregerino di Zanetto c.1565-75 generously on a temporary loan from Beares International Violin Society.
German pianist Frank Dupree has recently come to international prominence as the laureate prize winner of the 2014 Deutscher Musikwettbewerb in Bonn, having enamoured the judges with his musical maturity, refined technique, and ability to draw a wide spectrum of sound and colour from the keyboard. Renowned pianist Emanuel Ax has remarked that he is "a sincere, feeling, and enormously interesting artist, whom no doubt will be a major presence amongst the leading musicians of his generation".
Initially trained as a percussionist, Frank celebrates the breadth and depth of the piano repertoire, ranging from baroque to classical to contemporary. He is an enthusiast for new music especially, having already worked closely with composers such as Péter Eötvös and Wolfgang Rihm, the latter of whose work ‘Con Piano? Certo!’ was given its world premiere by Frank with conductor Justin Brown and the Badische Staatskapelle Karlsruhe in June 2015.
Highlights of Frank's past engagements include concerts with the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, Minnesota Orchestra, Bern Symphony Orchestra, Beethoven Orchestra Bonn and the Baden Baden Philharmonic. Also an active chamber musician, he was most recently invited on scholarship to the Chamber Music Academy of the Heidelberg Spring Festival and the Verbier Festival Academy.
I love his passion, it's like he's dancing with his viola
one of the most superb performances ever, splendid !
The ricochet is insanely impressive, the bow control is just out of this world… and the vibrato up on the fingerboard above 5th position is so smooth and natural
What an immense talent, and this performance is already at an amazing level.

Timothy Ridout plays viola surely and it's a real pleasure to listen such a good instrumentist .

A M A Z I N G !!!!
What a sound!!! The interpretation! The sentiment! Deeply moving!
Incredible🙌🏻
Loved the Dance of the Knights. Great arrangement and performance!
Entrancing. this is real artistry!
So beautifully played, amazing sound
FANTASTIC!!!
Glad you liked it! We love this recording too!
Amazing pianist, especially 17:22
Certainly remarkable.
I'm not an expert but it sounds very very good.
Really well done by both of them. This arrangement of Prokofiev's masterpiece is quite incredible - one forgets totally the original tessitura of the score with the extremely high violins... . Good flageolettes and intonation, attack as well as lyric abilities. Best wishes!
Exactly!
wow beautiful playing!
너무 좋아하는 음악입니다 ❤️
훌륭한 연주 잘 보고 갑니다 👍👍👍
We have been listening to this a lot on your CD, and it’s wonderful to get to see you play it as well.
Two Set
WOW.....
This is the greatest violist. One of his greatest performance elements is that his voila does not sound like viola, but more like cello and violin.
That makes no sense to me, and not sure why that is good, unless you are saying all other violists that sound like violists are bad
@@charlietian9843 Yes this is weird. I often say that I'd love the cello more if its high string could sound like a viola
What? 😂😂 That's like saying to a footballer, "You're really great at swimming mate." If anything, it's an insult not a compliment. Absolute nonsense.
