Symphonic hits

Kurt Weill composed his Second Symphony in exile in France and the USA, having fled the National Socialists in Germany. In terms of style, he drew inspiration from the great German-speaking composers of the past, which is often interpreted as melancholic retrospection. Around 100 years earlier, a 20-year-old Felix Mendelssohn visited the ruins of an abbey in Edinburgh and wrote to his parents about the experience: »Everything around is broken and mouldering and the bright sky shines in. I believe I have found the beginning of my Scottish symphony.«

After this formative journey, almost 13 years would pass in which the musical memories of the country and its people matured into one of Mendelssohn’s most important symphonic works, his Symphony No. 3 in A minor.
