Symphonies nos. 3 & 4

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Freiburger Barockorchester & Pablo Heras‐Casado

Symphonies nos. 3 & 4 are orchestral works by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, composed in 1842 and 1833 respectively. They showcase early Romantic orchestral writing, combining classical forms, lyrical melodies and colourful orchestration, with one work reflecting travel-inspired impressions and atmospheric breadth and the other emphasising brighter, dance-like energy, and together they represent a pivotal stage in Mendelssohn's development as a symphonist and in nineteenth-century symphonic practice.
