Symphonien no. 3 »Schottische« / no. 4 »Italienische«

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphonies No. 3 'Scottish' and No. 4 'Italian' are orchestral works by Felix Mendelssohn, the Italian being composed and first performed in 1833 and the Scottish completed and premiered in 1842. They exemplify Mendelssohn's Romantic orchestral style: the Italian is characterised by bright, buoyant Mediterranean-inspired themes and rhythmic clarity, while the Scottish features more brooding, landscape-evocative textures and formal experimentation, together representing important middle-period contributions to his symphonic output.
