Hensel / Studierende Der Mdw - Universitat Fur- Fanny & Wilhelm Hensel: Szenen einer Ehe (CD)
This CD production emerged out of the project "Room for Fanny Hensel" of the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna (mdw), presenting and promoting rarely received works by Fanny Hensel as well as the artistic collaboration with her husband Wilhelm Hensel. The composition of the Journey Album exemplifies that music, painting and poetry had been integral components of their lives: Fanny, sibling of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, wrote the work on paper of varying color, while Wilhelm Hensel decorated the beginning of every composition with vignettes, putting the musical characterizations into perspective to the months and adventures of their journey to Italy in 1839/40. The earlier "dramatic scene for soprano and piano" Hero and Leander exhibits the artistic ties of the couple on a different level: Fanny Hensel setting the verse of her husband to music. This recording features music students from four different departments of mdw.
> Due to the current limited nature of music titles, ALL CD & Vinyl purchases are limited to FOUR copies per customer, per item. If you place multiple orders for multiples of the same title, your subsequent orders will be canceled.
