Mendelssohn explores three 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 Mendelssohns most famous music. In 2024, Isata featured in the critically acclaimed film The Other Mendelssohn, exploring the life of the exceptionally talented by 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. The album features this world premiere recording of the new urtext edition of Fanny Mendelssohns Easter Sonata. As well as beautiful solo piano transcriptions by Liszt (On Wings of Song) and Rachmaninov (A Midsummer Nights Dream), and two of Felixs Songs Without Words and Fannys Nocturne, also for solo piano.
