Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56 (“Scottish”)

No results found.

The Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56, commonly known as the “Scottish Symphony,” was composed by Felix Mendelssohn and completed in 1842. The inspiration for this work came from his visit to Scotland in 1829, specifically when he visited the ruins of Holyrood Chapel in Edinburgh. In a letter, he wrote down a musical phrase that would later become the symphony’s opening theme.
Symphony in D minor, WAB 100 (“Nullte”)

No results found.

Symphony in D minor (“Nullte” or “No. 0”) – Though Bruckner later rejected this work, it shows his emerging symphonic voice. Written between his studies and First Symphony, it combines his characteristic brass chorales with moments of surprising drama. The slow movement particularly reveals his gift for lyrical expression and architectural grandeur.
Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 (“Pastorale”)

No results found.

A love letter to nature, this symphony takes listeners on a walk through the countryside. Each movement paints a vivid scene: peasants dancing, birds singing by a brook, a violent thunderstorm, and finally a shepherd’s song of thanksgiving. It’s Beethoven at his most picturesque and serene, though the storm movement reminds us of nature’s awesome power
