Symphonies No.4 & 5

Album by Felix Mendelssohn

Symphonies No. 4 and 5 are orchestral works by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1833 and in 1830–1832 respectively. They illustrate Mendelssohn's early Romantic style, with the Fourth characterised by bright, vivacious orchestration and rhythmic momentum inspired by his travels in Italy, and the Fifth marked by solemn, chorale-based passages and a more formal, liturgical tone reflecting Protestant influences in his career.
