Symphonies: No 3, "Scottish" - Symphony No 4, "Italian"

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century & Frans Brüggen

Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 are orchestral works by Felix Mendelssohn composed in 1842 and 1833 respectively. They exemplify Mendelssohn's Romantic orchestral language, combining luminous melodies, lively rhythmic drive and vivid orchestral colour, and they occupy important places in his output, with the earlier work reflecting Italianate influences and the later one showing a broader, more reflective approach to form and atmosphere.
