On their latest recording Felicitas Erb, Judith Erb and Doriana Tchakarova present all the duets composed by Fanny Hensel and Felix Mendelssohn. Fanny Hensel’s and Felix Mendelssohn’s parallel journeys as composers began with the two songs they composed for their father’s birthday in 1819. On that occasion, the two siblings created settings of the same text, a situation that occurred several times over the course of their compositional careers. It can be seen as the beginning of their close artistic liaison as well as, possibly, their rivalry as composers. This release sheds a light on the interesting relationship between these two talented composers, and the programme is a fascinating juxtaposition of the two.
