On Spotify:
Georges Bizet--Symphony No.1 in C, featuring the Donald Johanos led New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The third movement of this symphony has a definite Scottish feel to it, which inspired me to listen to Mendelssohn's Third Symphony as well.
On my cds, then:
Felix Mendelssohn--Symphony No.3 in A Minor, Op.56 {"Scottish"}; Symphony No.4 in A Major, Op.90 {"Italian"}; Symphony No.1 in C Minor, Op.11 and Symphony No.5 in D Major, Op.107 {"Reformation"}. All four symphonies are performed by the Herbert von Karajan led Berliner Philharmoniker.
Antonin Dvorak--Symphony No.2 in B-Flat Major, Op.4; Symphony No.3 in E-Flat Major, Op.10; Symphony No.4 in D Minor, Op.13 and Symphony No.5 in F major, Op.76. These four works feature the Staatskapelle Berlin under the baton of Otmar
Suitner.
I found Symphony No.2 to be especially captivating and lyrical.
