Subject: Interesting Position

I watched a game last night and the following position came up.
fen rnbqkb1r/1p4p1/1Pp2p2/p1Pp1nP1/3P1P2/P1N4B/8/R1BQK1NR/---W

Black has just played f6.

Here the white player played:
1) Kf2......Be7
2) Nf3......Ne3
After
3) Bxd3.....Rxh3
4) Rxh3.....Bxh3
5) Ne5......fxe5
6) Qh5+
Scored an easy win.

I looked at the starting position with Fritz who immediately selects
1) Ra2 my CM also selects 1) Kf2 as played and for some reason expects a reply
from black of fxg which it evaluates as being +4.69 to white and it never
changes its evaluation and expects this move without switching, when Be7 as
played in the game although not great is better than -4.69 as are other moves.

Anyways it appears to me that 1) Bxf5! appears to win almost immediately or am i
missing something about Bxf5!.

Does anyone see a defence to 1) Bxf5.

Thanks.
