Symphony no. 4 "Italian" / A Midsummer Night's Dream

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Philharmonia Cassovia & Johannes Wildner

Symphony No. 4 "Italian" / A Midsummer Night's Dream is a compilation of orchestral works by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, originally composed in 1833 and 1842. Musically it juxtaposes the Italian symphony's bright, dance-like rhythms and lyrical melodies with the atmospheric, programme-driven orchestration of the stage music, demonstrating Mendelssohn's versatility within early Romantic orchestral practice.
