Symphony No. 1 / String Symphonies No. 8, 13

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Heidelberger Sinfoniker & Thomas Fey

Symphony No. 1 / String Symphonies No. 8, 13 is a collection of orchestral and string works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, composed in the early 1820s. The pieces reflect Mendelssohn's early Romantic style, combining classical forms and transparent textures with lyrical melodies and lively rhythms, and they occupy a notable place in his youthful output as precursors to his later symphonic writing.
