David Mellor explores the recorded legacy of great artists of the past.
Viola player Lionel Tertis was born in 1876 on the same day as his great friend cellist Pablo Casals. As a boy, Roger Chase had a lesson with Tertis, then in his nineties, and witnessed the energy that had driven him to rescue the viola from its lowly status at the turn of the century. Decades later, that energy still burns in the grooves of Tertis's recordings and in the new life he gave his instrument. Kreisler Praeludium und Allegro Ethel Hobday (piano)
