One could hardly devise a more satisfying recital programme...All three works have persuasive advocates in these young British artists, who deliver them with engaging zeal and precision throughout...these performances emerge as distinctive and individual, without trying to be 'different' just for the sake of it, but nor are they enslaved to rigid convention either.
