Immerse yourself in the artistry of Isata Kanneh-Mason as she unveils the extraordinary Mendelssohn legacy. This album presents a captivating blend of Felix Mendelssohn’s renowned piano concerto and the long-lost Easter Sonata by his sister, Fanny Mendelssohn. Recorded with the London Mozart Players, this album highlights the world premiere of Fanny’s Easter Sonata, a piece that remained hidden for over a century.
In addition to the Easter Sonata, enjoy stunning transcriptions of Mendelssohn’s beloved pieces, including Liszt’s ‘On Wings of Song’ and Rachmaninov’s interpretation of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. Isata’s performance of two of Felix’s ‘Songs Without Words’ and Fanny’s ‘Nocturne’ completes this exquisite collection.
