Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 3 24'
Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 3 "Scottish" 43'

Wild landscapes, swirling mists, skirling pipes and Highland reels - they all feature in Mendelssohn's gloriously romantic Scottish Symphony. No wonder it's a personal favourite of the CBSO's popular assistant conductor Michael Seal. En route, though, come two more romantic adventures: Beethoven's stirring hymn to freedom, and the teenage Mozart's courtly Third Violin Concerto - surely the most elegant concerto even he ever composed.
