"Ein Sommernachtstraum" / Sinfonie Nr. 3, "Schottische"

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen & Ola Rudner

Ein Sommernachtstraum / Sinfonie Nr. 3, "Schottische" is an orchestral recording of compositions by Felix Mendelssohn dating from the early 1840s (1842–1843). The works exemplify early Romantic orchestral writing, combining lyrical melodies, vivid orchestral colour and programme-driven elements, and they occupy a central place in Mendelssohn's mature output as significant large-scale examples of nineteenth-century symphonic and incidental music practice.
First released: 26th March 2013
