BBC Music Magazine wrote of the recording: Fenella Humphreyss playing is a genuine revelation in the way it brings out the musics dark and introspective qualities, with no shortage of technical panache. Released in 2024, her Chandos recording of Adrian Suttons Violin Concerto with BBC Philharmonic won BBC Music Magazines 2025 Premiere Award, with the Strad Magazine writing Humphreys brings her endlessly unfurling violin lines taut, silvery weightlessness. The concerto was written for her in 2023, and premiered at the Southbank Centre with the RPO. Fenella plays on a beautiful G.B. Guadagnini violin kindly on loan from Jonathan Sparey. Programme: J.S.
