Symphonies no. 3 and 4

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Münchner Symphoniker & Süddeutsche Philharmonie & Alfred Scholz

Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 are orchestral compositions by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1842 and 1833 respectively. They exemplify early Romantic orchestral style, with the Fourth reflecting lively, Mediterranean-inflected melodies and bright orchestration drawn from Mendelssohn's travels to Italy, while the Third presents a more brooding, harmonically rich palette associated with his later creative period and interest in national and programme elements.
