Fanny Hensel (Mendelssohn): Choral and orchestral songs

[Alan Howe]

Here's a splendid new CD of her choral music and orchestral songs:

I caught her 'Hero and Leander' (Dramatic scene for soprano and orchestra) on BBC Radio 3 last Saturday and honestly thought I was listening something from a Weber opera. It is a splendidly theatrical piece to end a fine CD.
