The Linos Wind Quintet comprises five talented youngsters who met up while studying music at Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

They quickly won a major chamber music prize and immediately started touring.

Now they appear regularly in the UK and have just returned from a tour of Australia.

Each of its members are award winners and the line-up comprises flute, oboe, bassoon, horn and clarinet.

Particular mention must be made of flautist Juliette Bausor, a winner of the Royal Overseas League competition in 2001 and a grand finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year award in 1998.

She produces a wonderfully light and bright sound with seemingly effortless technique and bags of colour.

Clarinettist Christopher Richards has already guested as Principal Clarinet with the London and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestras.

The ensemble began its recital with the five-movement Kleine Kammermusic by Hindemith, giving it an elegance and beauty.

My favourite piece was the highly-romantic Wind Quintet in G Minor by Danzi. Here they managed a lush, sweeping piece with a fine bassoon line.

It was a close rival for my favourite with the Quintet reading of Ibert's Three Brief Pieces. This was another light, bright and jolly piece to rank alongside Henze's First Quartet for Wind, also given a rare airing by this ensemble.

These series of lunchtime recitals throw up little gems by talented young musicians, demonstrating that British music colleges are doing an excellent job of creating future orchestral musicians.

The Linos Wind Quintet is a definite diamond.
