"Scotch" Symphony / The Hebrides Overture
Album by Felix Mendelssohn & London Symphony Orchestra & Peter Maag
The "Scotch" Symphony is Symphony No. 3 by Felix Mendelssohn, completed in 1842, and The Hebrides Overture is an orchestral overture by Mendelssohn, composed in 1830. Both works have folk-influenced melodies and rich orchestral colour; the symphony shows a later, more expansive approach to form in Mendelssohn's career while the overture uses compact, atmospheric writing inspired by his visit to the Scottish islands.
