The enterprising new series of monthly early Sunday evening musical events at St Michael’s, Cobham Close, Battersea continued with Royal Baroque, a group of young multinational musicians who met in 2010 at the Guildhall School of Music (8 Feb). Their programme focussed on the French style, as represented in suites by Rebel and Telemann. The solo instruments were played by Christiane Eidsten Dahl, violin, and Rebecca Vučetić, recorders, with Kate Conway adding many solo moments to her continuo role on viola da gamba – and demonstrating impeccable tuning well above the frets. Continuo support came from Kaisa Pulkkinen, who didn’t have much chance to show her wares on baroque harp, and Katarzyna Kowalik, harpsichord. Christiane Eidsten Dahl’s sensitive and delicate violin playing blended well with the quieter sound of the recorder. All the players were well versed in French performing style, particularly evident in the gentler lyrical movements.
