MENDELSSOHN: Symphony No. 3 / A Midsummer Night's Dream (excerpts)

Mendelssohn’s ‘Scottish’ Symphony, with its references to nature and Scotland’s bellicose history, is brimful of high Romanticism within a Classical framework. The incidental music to ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, with its iconic ‘Wedding March’, is a work of genius composed at the tender age of seventeen.
