From The Cuvilliéstheater Munich: Fanny & Felix – The Mendelssohn Family

Together with the Israeli soprano Chen Reiss, the JCOM, conducted by Daniel Grossmann, discovers works by the fascinating composer Fanny Hensel and her famous brother Felix Mendelssohn. The congenial siblings Felix and Fanny took very different paths. While their father, himself the son of the famous Jewish Enlightenment philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, considered Fanny’s musical talent “an adornment, never the basic tone of your being and doing”, he paved the way for Felix’s career as a musician. Fanny was only allowed to compose and perform her works in private. In recent years have many of Fanny Hensel’s works been rediscovered.
