  Helena Wood
  
  IN spite of its name, the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra was not celebrating Mozart's 250th birthday at the weekend.
  
  Instead they treated their audience at St Saviour's Church in St Albans to an outstanding performance of Sergei Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto with Harpenden violinist Helena Wood.
  
  Now a much-sought-after chamber musician and orchestra leader, Helena appears all too rarely in the area and it is several years since I last heard her but her performance on Saturday was well worth the wait.
  
  Prokofiev's Concerto is sometimes austere yet it is also wonderfully melodic and it leaves the performer no room for error.
  
  Helena's performance was completely riveting and proved why she is in such great demand.
  
  The stately opening of the slow movement is totally demanding of the soloist and Helena produced a beautiful sweetness.
