For this exploration of the chamber music of the Czech composer Leos Janacek, Andras Schiff assembled an extensive team: six international wind players, plus the long-established Panocha Quartet from Prague.

For two of the five works, though, Schiff was on his own at the piano. The four pensive pieces of In the Mist brought the more satisfying performance, their simple lyricism inspiring some shapely playing. The Sonata in E flat minor was the more obviously serious work: a two-movement evocation of a man's death during a demonstration in Brno in 1905. The first seemed hurried; a more spacious interpretation might, conversely, have increased its sense of urgency. But the second was haunting: with his right hand often making contact a fraction after his left, Schiff gave the two outer sections a limpid glassiness, framing a passage of richly woven intensity in the middle.

Schiff was also the dominant figure in the opening work, the 1925 Concertino. The three strings and three wind players ranged either side of the piano, and a chamber-music atmosphere prevailed. The first two movements were essentially duets, for piano with horn and then a perky E flat clarinet, but all joined to depict the gossipy birds in the third and to end the fourth on a flourish.

The masterly First String Quartet was inspired by Tolstoy's novella The Kreuzer Sonata. In some performances the harshness of the opening gives away the tragedy before the piece gets going; but the Panocha Quartet kept things gentle, letting the sudden tremolos thicken the textures rather than subvert the melody. Playing with a well-blended rather than brilliant sound, but still with drive and energy, the quartet revealed the music's disquieting elements gradually and intriguingly.

In complete contrast, but just as well performed, was Youth, which closed the programme: a sparky, intricately scored wind sextet, with bass clarinet adding heft, convincingly evocative of its title. Not bad for a 70-year-old composer.
