Geniale Geschwister – Fanny & Felix

Jointly with the Kammerakademie Potsdam, the RIAS Kammerchor Berlin will dedicate an evening to the siblings Fanny Hensel and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Fanny's "Hiob" was meant for her husband; its instrumental line-up suggests, however, that a performance in the public arena was planned. Such a performance actually happened, however, only in 1990—an indication of marginalisation. Before that, you can hear two psalms by her brother Felix from "Da Israel aus Ägypten zog".
