Symphony no. 4 "Italian / Violin Concerto / "The Hebrides" Overture

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein & Pinchas Zukerman

Compilation album of orchestral works by Felix Mendelssohn, drawing on compositions from the early to mid-19th century (c. 1829–1845). The music represents early Romantic orchestral practice, combining classical forms and transparent textures with lyrical melodies, energetic rhythmic drive and vivid orchestral colour, while the concerto element features a virtuosic yet song-like solo part closely integrated with the orchestra, reflecting Mendelssohn's contribution to the development of symphonic and concertante repertoire in his middle period.

First released: 1993
