Symphony No.3 ‘Scotch’ / Overture : Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Berner Symphonie‐Orchester & Peter Maag

Symphony No. 3 "Scottish" and the overture "Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage" are orchestral compositions by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1842 and 1828 respectively. Musically, the symphony displays Mendelssohn's mature Romantic orchestral language with brooding slow movements, expansive orchestration and formal experimentation inspired by his travels, while the overture employs contrasting, programme-like textures to evoke a maritime atmosphere, together illustrating notable aspects of his contribution to nineteenth-century orchestral music.
