Following his critically acclaimed recording of Mendelssohn's Symphony No.2, Spanish conductor Pablo Heras-Casado returns with Symphonies Nos.3 and 4, this time leading the Freiburger Barockorchester. Both works have origins in the composer's 1829-1831 tour of Europe. Symphony No.3, sometimes called the ''Scottish'' symphony, was inspired by a visit to the ruined Holyrood Chapel in Edinburgh in 1829. It was not completed until 1842, making it, chronologically, the last of his five symphonies. Symphony No.4, called the ''Italian'' symphony, was born of the color and atmosphere of Italy, and was completed in Berlin in 1833.
