This is a simply gorgeous piece of music and Fenella played it beautifully, equally at ease with the languorous melody of the adagio and the magnificent sweep of the finale. Although this was inevitably the highlight of the concert, the whole evening was most enjoyable and brought the current season to a fine conclusion.

Fenella Humphreys gave a virtuosic and uplifting performance of Max Bruch's Scottish Fantasy for violin and orchestra ranging from its funereal introduction to the break-neck speed and the double-stopping of the final movement.

Young violinist Fenella Humphreys next gave an impassioned reading of the Concerto in D minor by Sibelius.... Humphreys is undoubtedly a player of extraordinary talent and her performance was mesmerising.

lyric glow...

Geoff Brown - The Times - January '06

the pieces for violin and piano enjoyed preoccupation with a dreamlike state in the hands of Fenella Humphreys and Helen Reid..... [the] emotional centre was found by Humphreys, her legato line easy to follow and her tone singing to the back of the room. David Matthews’s Aria (1986), meanwhile, deceived in its opening virtuoso cadenza, which promised much but delivered a much softer theme, again lyrically persuasive in this performance.

it is very rare for a musically knowledgeable audience to burst into spontaneous applause during a concerto, but such was the appreciation at the end of the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.....Even Thaikovsky acknowleged the difficulties of playing it, but this was quite frankly a stunning performance in whcih the soloist held her audience mesmerised for its duration.
