"Technically superb and eloquent in his expressivity, he held the capacity audience spellbound with an interpretation of exceptional authority."
- The Guardian
"Kanneh-Mason is a player who makes you tune in to every nuance of articulation, every subtle shading, every eloquent turn of phrase."
- The Times
Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason made history as the first black winner of the BBC Young Musician in 2016. Inspiration is his first album where he honors his music school and the many teachers that helped him throughout his muscal career. Kanneh-Mason provides listeners with a very diverse group of artists from Shostakovich to Bob Marley and to Pablo Casals.
"I would love to inspire more diversity in young people taking up classical music – it would be a really wonderful thing if I could be a role model in that way."
- Sheku Kanneh-Mason
