SUMMARY:Fenella Humphreys & Antonio Oyarzábal VIOLIN & PIANO
DESCRIPTION:Ravel’s World\n7th March 2025 marks the 50th birthday of the extraordinary French composer and teacher\, Maurice Ravel. This intriguing programme places music by Ravel alongside that of his teacher\, Gabriel Fauré and students Germaine Tailleferre and Ralph Vaughan Williams. There will also be music by Lili Boulanger and Dutch composer\, Rosy Wertheim who lived in Paris in the 1920s. Faversham Music Club regular\, Fenella Humphreys\, returns with pianist Antonio Oyarzábal. \nPROGRAMME\nRalph ⁠⁠Vaughan Williams – Romance\nRosy Wertheim – Sonata\nLili Boulanger – Nocturne\nMaurice Ravel – Berceuse sur le nom de Gabriel Fauré\nGabriel Fauré – Berceuse op 16\nGermaine Tailleferre – Sonatine\nMaurice Ravel – Sonata no. 2\n  \nFenella Humphreys\, winner of the 2023 BBC Music Magazine Premiere Recording Award\, has attracted critical admiration and audience acclaim with the grace and intensity of her remarkable performances.With her playing described in the press as “alluring”\, “unforgettable” and “a wonder”\, Fenella is one of the UK’s most established and versatile violinists\, having also won the 2018 BBC Music Magazine Instrumental Award. She enjoys a busy career combining chamber music with solo work\, performing in the most prestigious venues around the world and is frequently broadcast on the BBC\, Classic FM\, Scala Radio and international radio stations. \nFenella performs widely as a soloist.

BBC Music Magazine has written of the recording: “it takes an unusually fine artist to be able to bridge the two extremes. 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 meanwhile.” \nMost recently her recording of Adrian Sutton’s Violin Concerto has been released on Chandos with Michael Seal and BBC Phil. The work was written for Fenella in 2023\, and premiered with the RPO at London’s Southbank Centre. “Humphreys\, Seal and the BBC Philharmonic have its [Violin Concerto] linguistic number.

The recording beautifully captures her duets with woodwind\, and a tremendous dynamic range…” (The Strad) \nAntonio Oyarzabal was born in Bilbao in 1989.
