Das Jahr – 12 Charakterstücke für Fortepiano (1841), Abschied von Rom
Markus Wenz, who has won multiple prizes and has been a participant in international master classes as a scholarship recipient has new recorded Fanny Hensel’s piano cycle ‘Das Jahr’ (the year). For the first time recorded are both versions of the Juni (June) and ‘Abschied von Rom’.
“A beautifully rendered performance of “Das Jahr” by Markus Wenz was released in 2005 by Salto Records International, including also Hensel’s “Abschied von Rom”. Wenz’s playing is superb, bringing out with great feeling the varied expression of each piece.” Carol lei Breckenridge in: harpsichord & fortepiano Vol. 16, No. 1
