Mendelssohn & Mendelssohn-Hensel: Works for Cello & Piano
Cello and piano works by Felix Mendelssohn, including his two Sonatas, are paired with two pieces by his sister Fanny Mendelssohn, a composer whose opportunities were restricted by societal conventions. The performers are cellist Johannes Moser and pianist Alasdair Beatson, who plays on an 1837 Erard fortepiano that matches the Mendelssohn household's own instrument.
