Symphony no. 3 "Scottish / Symphony no. 4 "Italian"

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

Symphony No. 3 and Symphony No. 4 are orchestral works by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1842 and 1833 respectively. They exemplify Mendelssohn's Romantic orchestral style, with the Fourth displaying bright, Italianate vigour and classical clarity while the Third adopts a more brooding, atmospheric character that marks a late-stage development in his symphonic writing and expressive use of programme-like moods.
