Last night, two string players stood out. Violinist Sulki Yu displayed wit and a kind of fervent grace in unfeasibly difficult music, including Bartók’s dizzying Solo Violin Sonata and Salvatore Sciarrino’s mysterious, often barely audible Capriccios.

Later, Pei-Jee Ng was impressive in Britten’s Third Cello Suite, delivered with technical assurance and complete emotional involvement.
The prospect of a recorder quintet strikes terror into the heart, but Consortium5 does everything possible to dispel the fear. In Brooks Frederickson’s Quintet, the members played no fewer than 15 instruments between them, including the mighty sub-bass recorder, a seven-foot monster. Here and in David Bedford’s Variations and Cadenzas, there was certainly novelty value but also genuinely musical humour.

All these performers will develop and mature. Remember their names.
Until Friday (0871 663 2500).
