A Midsummer Night’s Dream / Scherzo “Queen Mab”

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Hector Berlioz & Arturo Toscanini & The Philadelphia Orchestra

A Midsummer Night's Dream is incidental music by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1842. The score blends fleet, sprite-like scherzos with lyrical nocturnes and chamber-like orchestral textures to evoke the play's fairy world, representing a late-career return by Mendelssohn to theatre music and securing its place in the 19th-century orchestral repertoire.
