Lieder on CD

HENSEL: Lieder (contains 17 première recordings) - Complementing the historically important 2021 publication of the complete songs of Fanny Hensel, this album has been curated to guide the listener through the rich and varied musical life of the composer, including songs from the different compositional phases and poets Hensel chose to set. Recorded at Mendelssohn-Haus, Leipzig where Hensel herself once lived, the 34 tracks on this recording feature many songs which have never been performed in public before, 17 of which are première recordings. The album cover features a specially commissioned work by Glasgow-based artist Kirsty Matheson.
