Her visit to the island has been described as "Guernsey's gift" by Max Wong, himself a gifted violinist.

Mr Wong was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Schools of Music in 2013 and has performed across the world, including with the orchestra of Jesus College, Cambridge and as part of the Chinese Symphonic Masterpieces project.

He's a dual qualified solicitor and barrister in England and Wales (non-practicing). He also has a Master’s in Physics and Philosophy from Columbia University and studied Philosophy at Harvard University.

Mr Wong was pleased to "recommend the recital at St James" this evening, saying that Ms Saluste-Bridoux "possesses probably the most talent I have ever seen bestowed to a pair of hands".

"Exceptionally I am writing to recommend the recital at St James this Wednesday evening by Charlotte Saluste-Bridoux. In one sentence: she possesses probably the most talent I have ever seen bestowed to a pair of hands.

"Uncompromisingly individual, she sees a thousand colours where others see one, and is one of the few artists in the world who truly tells a story whenever she picks up her instrument.

"Talent is granted so unfairly sometimes, but on Wednesday evening this is Guernsey's gift," he said.

Mr Wong says that Ms Saluste-Bridoux's programme choice reflects her eclectic personality.

"The Poulenc sonata dramatic and varied; the first Brahms sonata (not the D minor usually played) is beautiful and subtle, after the "Regenlied" written for Clara Schumann; and the second Bartok concert rhapsody, again not the one usually played, but in my opinion the better one - ethereal at first but so folksy at the end."
