Die Hebriden

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Wiener Philharmoniker & Carl Schuricht

Die Hebriden is an orchestral overture by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1830. The overture evokes the seascape of the Hebrides through rolling orchestral textures, dramatic dynamic contrasts and a recurring motif, exemplifying Mendelssohn's programme-influenced orchestral writing in the early Romantic period.
