The album Mendelssohn explores three aspects of the Mendelssohn family’s work: the brilliant First Piano Concerto by Felix, the long-lost "Easter Sonata" by his sister Fanny, and transcriptions of famous Mendelssohn pieces by other composers. In 2024, Isata Kanneh-Mason appeared in the film "The Other Mendelssohn," which reveals that the "Easter Sonata" was written by Fanny, not Felix. Isata was the first artist to perform this piece. The album features the world premiere of the new edition of Fanny’s "Easter Sonata" and solo transcriptions of works by Liszt and Rachmaninov.
