Fingal’s Cave Overture / Symphony no. 3 “Scotch”

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & London Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti

This classical album presents orchestral works by Felix Mendelssohn composed in 1830 and 1842. The pieces exemplify Mendelssohn's Romantic-era orchestral style, combining lyrical melodies, vivid orchestral colour and evocative programme-like gestures that reflect landscape inspiration and national influence, and they occupy notable positions in his development as a symphonist and overture composer.
