As musicians, Evgeny Kissin and Andras Schiff may have little in common, but they now share one distinction, as the only pianists to have given solo recitals at the Proms. Schiff's late-night appearance was an all-Mozart programme - a tour through a series of single movements and sonatas in an artfully chosen three-part sequence that began and ended with works in A minor, but visited related keys en route. Even in such a cavernous hall, before an audience of several thousand (large for a late-night Prom), Schiff's playing was contained, almost self-communing, and immaculately polished. His choice of a Bösendorfer piano, less bright and extrovert in tone than the usual Steinway, emphasised the impression of intimacy.

He began with introspective music too. The A minor Rondo K511 immediately made his listeners adjust to the scale and subtlety of his playing. That extraordinary late piece, played with simple directness and very little extraneous rubato, together with the equally rich Adagio in B minor K540, which was the centrepiece of his sequence, were the emotional heart of a programme that also included more expansive and outward-looking performances of the sonatas in A major K331, and A minor K310, and the tantalisingly unfinished D minor Fantasia.

There had been more Mozart preceding Schiff's recital, as Paul Daniel and the City of London Sinfonia, replacements for Donald Runnicles and the New York-based Orchestra of St Luke's (casualties of last week's restrictions on international flights), ended their concert with the Jupiter Symphony. They had managed to keep the original St Luke's programme intact, and its highlight was a quite exceptional account of Paroles Tissées, the orchestral song cycle Witold Lutoslawski wrote for Peter Pears in 1965. Here the soloist was Ian Bostridge, in marvellous voice, vividly evoking the surreal imagery of the Chabrun poems with pinpoint precision and immaculate French diction.
