Symphony no. 3 "Scottish" / Symphony no. 3 "Rhenish"

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Robert Schumann & Philharmonia Orchestra & Otto Klemperer

Symphony No. 3 'Scottish' is the third symphony by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, composed between 1830 and 1842 and first performed in 1842. Rooted in the early Romantic orchestral tradition, the work employs brooding, evocative harmonies, shifting modal colours and cyclic thematic development to evoke landscapes and atmosphere, and represents a mature point in Mendelssohn's career where programme-inspired conception and symphonic architecture are closely intertwined.
