Symphony no. 3 "Scottish" / The Hebrides Overture / A Midsummer Night's Dream
Album by Felix Mendelssohn & London Symphony Orchestra & Peter Maag
This release is a collection of orchestral works by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, composed between 1826 and 1842. They exemplify Mendelssohn's Romantic-era orchestral style, combining classical forms with lyrical melodies, transparent orchestration and programme-driven or incidental elements, and they occupy a significant place in his mid-career output and in 19th-century orchestral repertoire.
First released: 13th August 1996
