Fanny Hensel: Italian Journey Album [Hybrid SACD] (2005) more music like this

performed by Doerthe Maria Sandmann (soprano), Hans-Christian Braun (tenor), Philip Mayers (piano), Ulrike Bartsch (alto), Vokalzeit
composed by Fanny Mendelssohn

Fanny Hensel was Felix Mendelssohn's sister, a fact that goes unmentioned in the detailed booklet that accompanies this disc.

Wilhelm Middelschulte: Organ Works 3 more music like this

performed by Jurgen Sonnentheil (organ), Philip Mayers (piano)
composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, Wilhelm Middelschulte

It is tempting to refer to German-American composer Wilhelm Middelschulte "the Busoni of the organ," except that the influence went the other way around -- it was the Chicago-based Middelschulte whose work affected Ferruccio Busoni through Middelschulte's theoretical concepts, incisive advocacy of Johann Sebastian Bach, and other attributes. ...

Schumann: Der Rose Pilgerfahrt more music like this

composed by Robert Schumann

While not for everybody, Schumann's delectable song cycle Der Rose Pilgerfahrt (The Pilgrimage of the Rose) deserves a hearing by anyone who likes their lieder tender-hearted, sentimental, and deeply Romantic. Originally scored for vocal quartet plus choir with piano accompaniment in 1851, Schumann re-scored the work for orchestra the next year, ...
