About the show
Fenella Humphreys, winner of BBC Music Magazine Awards in 2025, 2023 and 2018, has attracted critical admiration and audience acclaim with the grace and intensity of her remarkable performances.
Fenella performs widely as a soloist. Her recent album of Sibelius’ solo works with BBC National Orchestra of Wales has been featured in BBC Radio 3’s Building a Library and Gramophone Magazine’s Guide to the Concerto. BBC Music Magazine wrote of the recording: “Fenella Humphreys’s playing is a genuine revelation in the way it brings out the music’s dark and introspective qualities, with no shortage of technical panache.”

'Fenella Humphreys's performance is a wonder' (International Record Review)
'... Fenella Humphreys is a top-notch violin soloist, producing a pure, sweet tone of
piercing beauty...' (James A Altena, Fanfare Magazine)
'... Fenella Humphreys is one of the few violinists with the guts and temerity (and the technique demanded by the music) to play Sibelius's chamber music... Sibelius's Opus 81 (1917-18) allowed Humphreys to demonstrate her complete absorption into this magical melodic world...' (Edward Clark, Classical Source).
