A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Album by Felix Mendelssohn

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is incidental music by German composer Felix Mendelssohn‑Bartholdy, composed in 1842. Characterised by bright Romantic orchestration and recurring motifs that evoke the play’s fairyland and dramatis personae, the work combines an overture first written in 1826 with additional incidental numbers composed for an 1842 staging and occupies an important place in Mendelssohn's output as a composer of stage and concert music.
