Scottish & Italian Symphonies

Album by Felix Mendelssohn

Scottish & Italian Symphonies is a collection of two orchestral symphonies by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1833 and 1842. Representative of early Romantic orchestral writing, the works contrast sunny, dance-like passages and bright orchestration associated with Mendelssohn's Italian journey with darker, brooding textures and expansive forms inspired by his travels in Scotland, and together they mark an important development in his mid-career symphonic style.
