Symphonies Nos. 3 "Scottish" & 4 "Italian"

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & London Symphony Orchestra & Claudio Abbado

Symphonies Nos. 3 'Scottish' & 4 'Italian' are orchestral compositions by Felix Mendelssohn, completed in 1842 and 1833-34 respectively. Part of the early Romantic orchestral repertoire, they combine classical symphonic structures with programme-driven themes, contrasting moods and luminous orchestration that reflect Mendelssohn's travel influences and his development as a symphonist.
