Symphonie No. 3

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & London Symphony Orchestra & Claudio Abbado

Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56 is the third symphony by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, completed in 1842. The work exemplifies early Romantic orchestral writing with vivid orchestration and modal-inflected melodies derived from Mendelssohn's impressions of Scotland, featuring a sombre, episodic structure that pointed to a more expansive and formally adventurous phase in his symphonic output.
