Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Lucia Popp & Marjana Lipovšek & Bamberger Symphoniker & Claus Peter Flor

Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night's Dream is incidental music by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1842 for performances of Shakespeare's play.
