The pieces included in the program of today's concert are connected by a surprising track - leading across the ocean, to the United States. The manuscript of the Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel Overture might still be gathering dust in the Berlin archives if it hadn't been brought out by Judith Rosen, a board member of The Women's Philharmonic in San Francisco, which in 1992 resulted in the first recording of this graceful composition.
