Crossword Genius

Article ruined performance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recital

'performance' is the definition.
(I know that recital is a type of performance)

'article ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates an anagram.
'article' with letters rearranged gives 'RECITAL'.

(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "Enumeration of facts" , "(Usually solo) concert" , "Concert performed by a solo musician" , "Musical entertainment or a long account" , "Solo music performance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
