Q: What is the world’s longest viola joke? A: Harold in Italy! I used to agree but, all joking aside, Antoine Tamestit’s Proms performance last year really did convince me that Berlioz’s “Symphony with Viola Obbligato” is a minor masterpiece, not so much a concerto for viola (Niccolò Paganini initially rejected it when he saw the sketches) but a work where the viola is Harold, the outsider trying to find his place. In our Viola Top Ten, we’ve included a few gems by lesser-known composers, as well as the instrument’s star concertos and sonatas. Indeed, it is frequently the butt of orchestral jokes, but the instrument’s mellow – and melancholic – qualities have inspired some great music, not all of which is performed regularly. As the “middle voice” between the flashy violin and the sonorous cello, the viola doesn’t enjoy as wide a solo repertoire.
