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 Mendelssohn's 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 Mendelssohn's Easter Sonata. As well as beautiful solo piano transcriptions by Liszt ('On Wings of Song') and Rachmaninov ('A Midsummer Night's Dream'), and two of Felix's 'Songs Without Words' and Fanny's 'Nocturne', also for solo piano.
