An anonymous critic in the Neue Berliner Musik Zeitung, spoke highly of Hensel’s Piano Trio, describing the first movement as “a masterpiece, and the trio most highly original.” Often regarded as a significant departure from her intimate lieder and shorter piano pieces, Hensel’s Trio showcases her capabilities as both a composer and pianist, with its virtuosic piano writing, and poetic allusions to her brother, Felix’s compositions. Hensel’s music takes us “through stormy waves into a marvelous edifice”, then into her very own “lieder mode”, before closing with a flourishing finale.
