Double Image is a quartet that specialises in performing trios.

In Brighton it alternated its clarinettist with its violin player for a programme of works by Beethoven and Glinka along with a world premiere by Nicola LeFanu.

Pianist David Carhart, violinist Sophie Langdon, cellist Miriam Lowery and clarinettist Andrew Sparling are veteran musicians and it shows in their music-making.

Beethoven's Clarinet Trio was given a smooth workout with the diminutive Carhart getting a superb sound from his Steinway while the clarinet added bags of colour in a seemingly effortless way.

It is a joyous piece and these players wrung all the passion out of it that they possibly could.

The violin replaced the clarinet for the world premiere of Nicola LeFanu's Piano Trio, a much darker and more sombre piece but full of light and shade and touches of sheer lyricism.

It is a complicated work that must be fiendish to perform, requiring some notes to be bent so out of shape as to be unrecognisable.

The recital closed with a trio by Glinka. Here the clarinet stepped back into the limelight for this jolly romp of a Russian piece putting the audience well into the mood to spend the afternoon amid the Streets Of Brighton acts.
