Well-known Classical Composer Felix Mendelssohn wrote both of these pieces: Symphony No. 4 in A (known popularly as Italian) and Symphony No. 5 in D Major (known popularly as Reformation). Italian is considered to be Mendelssohns most popular symphony while Reformation was considered by the composer as a complete misfit. Together, both pieces are conducted by the impressive Charles Munch and performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, who gives both life and reason to these important works.
