Glasgow's early music consort Concerto Caledonia were joined by violinist Rachel Podger for a gorgeously spirited set of music by Purcell, Matthew Locke and the late-17th century Italian violin virtuoso Nicola Matteis: his Bizarrie all'Umor Scozzese ("Ground After Scots Humour") had Podger reeling off boisterous, beautifully shaped pyrotechnics. Her playing was poised and passionate, lilting and sparky, and the rest of the ensemble followed suit. David McGuinness brought a light touch to Purcell's solo Suite in D on a sweet-toned virginal, and in extracts from Locke's setting of The Tempest and Purcell's The Fairy Queen the group's sound was buoyant and mellow.
