Description

Isata Kanneh-Mason Explores Mendelssohn on 2LP.

Mendelssohn’ explores 3 facets of one of the most famous names in classical music: the glittering Piano Concerto No.1 by Felix with the London Mozart Players; the long-lost ‘Easter Sonata’ by his sister Fanny, as well as transcriptions by other composers of Mendelssohn’s most famous music. In 2024, Isata featured in the critically acclaimed film The Other Mendelssohn, exploring the life of the exceptionally talented but overlooked Fanny Mendelssohn, later Fanny Hensel. In the film, they uncover the fact that the Easter Sonata, a piece lost for 150 years, was in fact written by Fanny, not Felix. Isata was the first artist to perform the work attributed to the correct composer. 2 LP set.

“It was important to me when making a Mendelssohn album to include both Fanny and Felix. It's only in the last few decades that we've started to hear what Fanny was composing – it's amazing music, and I'm glad to be playing it.” – Isata Kanneh-Mason.
