| It was guitarist Xuefei Yang who gave the most surprising recital. In Xiaoyong Chen's Static and Rotation, her guitar created an astonishing variety of sounds, from bell-like harmonics to weird scrapes and noises.

Her most affecting playing, though, was reserved for the crepuscular colours of Britten's Nocturnal after John Dowland. |
