A Midsummer Night's Dream

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Nemzeti Filharmonikus Zenekar & Ádám Fischer

A Midsummer Night's Dream is incidental music by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, composed in 1842. The score employs Romantic orchestral colour and lyrical thematic writing to evoke dramatic, programme-driven scenes for Shakespeare's play, and it is representative of Mendelssohn's engagement with programme music in the early Romantic period.
