It will be available as a DVD+Blu-ray package on May 17, 2024. Take a celebrated musical genius, a rival sibling, an unknown manuscript, and one sensational revelation and what have you got? Fanny: The Other Mendelssohn – a captivating feature documentary starring global Decca artist, Isata Kanneh-Mason. The film also follows Fanny’s many modern champions, including pianist Sarah Rothenberg, whose pioneering recording of Fanny’s ‘Das Jahr’ features in the story. Anyone who has been to a wedding has enjoyed the musical genius of Felix Mendelssohn. His Wedding March is the most-played classical composition of all time. But Felix was not the only genius in the family: his sister, Fanny was also a brilliant composer. Yet most people have never heard of her, and even now only a few of her 450 works are published or performed. Fanny as composer was equal to any of her contemporaries, male or female: technically brilliant and boldly ground-breaking. Yet she was 40 before she dared to defy Felix's disapproval, and publish her music under her own name. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43610209190044,"sku":"6501627","price":23.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_75901b75-f83e-42f2-b45b-1316f24869f5.jpg?v=1714397371","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/fanny-mendelssohn-the-other-mendelssohn-bd-dvd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
