To watch conductor Barry Wordsworth in action is to watch the quest for perfection.

Sunday's concert saw him urging the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra to provide the best possible music, teasing out the subtleties and nuances from the players.

This resulted in wonderfully majestic readings of Schubert and Beethoven. It is this sort of thrilling stuff which makes the BPO probably the best orchestra south of London.

Surely someone should give them a recording contract?

In his account of the first two of the four Horn Concertos by Mozart, Wordsworth adopted a much more relaxed manner, allowing his players and the soloist David Pwatt - once the youngest-ever winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year award - to do their thing.

The orchestra did not disappoint.

The BPO are definitely masters when it comes to Mozart.

The seamless string section brings out all the rich complexities of the music and makes it seem so simple.
