Two technical mishaps punctuate the evening, but Hilary Hahn maintains poise throughout a French programme crowned by a finely judged, deeply expressive performance of Fauré. 

The performance of the young French mezzo-soprano was admired more for its correctness than for its seductiveness.

Two interlocking grand pianos, the front with its lid removed, centred the stage of pale pink lights at St George’s. The Labèque sisters, Katia and Marielle perform Ravel, Schubert, Bernstein and Glass. 

Debussy, Ravel and Fauré: turn of the century Paris. We might think of hazy perfumed music, but the richness of the Scottish Ensemble brought out a bold, vibrant and dynamic side to the French dreams.
