I have been a lover of Tschaikowsky's music since I was a kid growing up in the '70's. I've been aware of this piece since that time, and I think I may have listened to it once or twice over the years, but it never really resonated with me. I think this is really more of a multi movement tone poem, and I was always expecting it to be like his other symphonies. However, all of the sudden now, entering my senior years, I finally get this piece. I can't believe it, I love this piece so much now, it's incredible. I just want to listen to it over and over. I can't explain what it is about about the Manfred Symphony that has grabbed hold of me, right down to my core.

[@heavyearly2232]

I found a vintage LP copy of this on Everest records, and was impressed by quality of the recording, and the haunting quality of this piece. So unlike what I expect from Tchaikovsky.

[@fredrickroll06]

@@ksaviersilva1176 Which is the SECOND one that you mean?! I am quite puzzled! Of course I know the "Seventh" Symphony in E-flat Major, but I think Tchaikovsky was well advised to recast it as the Piano Concerto No. 3, together with the "Andante and Finale," op. 79 (orchestrated by Taneev after Tchaikovsky's death) - I think the Third Piano Concerto, in its complete version, is perhaps the most interesting of the three!

[@zackoneandonly]

Aaaah, Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky The orchestral colours he creates that correspond to the innermost feelings of despair, elation, longing resentment, anger and joy - in other words the most sincere internal experiences of humans. Supreme orchestrator. I shall never forget reading about his face-to-face encounter with Leo Tolstoy after the premiere of Serenade for Strings behind the stage. All through the performance Tolstoy is said to have cried tears of emotions. What a gem Tchaikovsky is ! Once Rimsky korsakov had complained that while he was studying the compositions of Tchaikovsky, he found the calculations used by Mr Tchaikovsky very complicated and challenging.

so great seeing the love and appreciation of Tchaikovsky and this symphony in the comments.. his music been with me all my life.. thank god

[@sirvincent7263]

Absolutely one of the most ignored and under-rated works in the romantic symphonic literature. It's easy to be diverted by the great symphonies numbers 4-6, however this is more of a symphonic tone poem that is a delightful aural smorgasbord offering great composing, lovely orchestration, and Russian soul performed by a superb ensemble under the baton of an evident devotee of Tchaikovsky. How can one not thrill to the ostinato at 4:09 that crescendos into a glorious cadence at 4:44? The fleet's in!! The celli at 6:04 full of lush melody ala Brahms lays the secondary theme authoritatively without any abrasive timbre whatsoever. Bravo dem Orchester des Frankfurtishen Rundfunks!

[@mrsneaky2010]

Sir Vincent .... for me it lacks the form and taughtness of the other symphonies, but it makes up for it drama and power. It is a vast tone poem and reflects the composers inner thoughts and feelings at the time...

[@bathtubbarracuda2581]

Let's not forget that fugue in the finale.

[@AlexanderArsov]

Quite so, Sir Vincent. Too bad there are still conductors who insist on re-orchestrating and even re-composing the work, cutting the fugue in the finale (you can do that only if you're Toscanini) or copy-pasting the ending of the first movement to the last (completely indefensible, no matter who you are). Too bad, too, there are prejudiced listeners who have made up their minds (or somebody else has made up their minds for them) and cannot possibly allow that "Manfred" is every bit as good as the last three symphonies, and it needs committed performances instead of cuts and re-arrangements.

Well, it’s seems hard to argue that T’s Fifth Symphony was his tour d’ force. I believe Manfred was his first major output after having settled down in his new home in the Russian countryside outside Moscow on the route to St Petersburg. He was truly at home and at peace following decades of wandering through the whole of Europe. Still don’t quite understand why this piece didn’t get ‘numbered’, as it would be the true Fifth, right? Great music but to me doesn’t have the majesty of Five, or Six. Thanks KZbin for this magnificent performance.

[@pakasit1812]

@@frankreedy6437 Manfred doesn't get numbered because it was composed in free format. Tchaikovsky breaks away from rules and regulations in so called Sonata form which is the structure of " Symphony". Therefore, Manfred is a symphonic fantasy in 4 movements. By theorey, it is not a symphony.

@@h.tahoori But if one waits until high school, youngsters' listening habits have been largely formed, and then it's an almost Sisyphean task to encourage them to expand their listening repertoire or to gain an understand of musical genres and forms. Of course, one must provide "steps for little feet" or for "undereducated ears", but I fear most of those teaching in public schools are not prepared for the task. Living in the US, I can make some informed comments about that country. It appears that by the late '60s much of the gymnasium-type education typical of Europe but which had obtained even in certain public high schools in the US was disappearing or had already disappeared. Youngsters were no longer required to read as extensively and intensively as earlier: anthologies with excerpts were used instead of entire works. Memorization of poems, selections from Shakespeare and the like was no longer required. Schools may have offered band, choir or glee club, orchestra either as extra-curricular activities or for fewer credits than "academic" subjects, or even home economics or wood-working or metal shop, but courses in "music appreciation" were rare. Even they typically hit the high points - the major composers, a handful of their works, but musical genres and forms were little studied, if at all. Now, this is not place for an excursus. Let me conclude by observing that the Soviet Union's Oct. 1958 launching of Sputnik brought about an emphasis on mathematics and the "hard" sciences with a consequent de-emphasis or neglect of the humanities and social, or "soft" sciences. Moreover, the hierarchy of values changes, and in a democratic republic like the US power-seeking politicians often persuade voters of an agenda that makes ever so attractive values that do not recognize the importance of developing one's artistic, intellectual or "spiritual" (not religious) abilities and capabilities. If an appreciation and understanding of the importance of the humanities (broadly speaking) and the social sciences persist in the US, I suggest they are due to the relative freedom to pursue one's interests, despite almost insurmountable obstacles in some cases.

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

This may be more of a symphonic poem than a symphony, but Tchaikovsky's "Manfred Symphony" certainly approaches the greatness of his others, and is greater than his first two (I consider the 3rd to be in a category of its own). No composer was a better builder of drama or emotion, and here Petrenko lets his score speak for itself, always expressive but never excessive. It's an excellent and rewarding approach and execution, and a joy to hear.

The coda to movement 1 (13.48 onwards) must be one of the greatest in all symphonic music. Begins with a very powerful dotted rhythm in the brass and continues with a searingly intense restatement of the main theme. The turbulent passion and rich orchestration at 15.00 rises to a climax marked by amazingly savage trumpet chords (15.46). Petrenko then brings it to an end with all the drama visible in his face and gestures. Magnificent!

Everyone, except Tchaikovsky himself, it seems. He wrote a Russian grand Duke shortly after sharing the score with him that ‘it is an abominable piece’, and that he loathed it but for the first movement. It must have been in one of T’s low moments, because he went ahead and published it, even conducting it at one performance. Thank goodness T didn’t destroy this work, eh, like he did so many of his diaries late in life. Who knows what we may have learned from his magnificent mind?

Un'ottima esecuzione e un'altrettanto ottima direzione Il Manfred é una delle più vaste composizioni di Ciaikovsky ed una delle migliori come lo stesso autore la ebbe a definire. Malgrado ciò viene eseguita molto di rado. Questo possente lavoro sinfonico è ispirato al dramma di Byron in cui il protagonista è Manfred. Ciaikovsky in questa composizione impiega un' "idea fissa" che si ripete nel corso di tutta la sinfonia.

It’s rather like missing out Beethoven 6 from its cycle because it’s a program work.

[@agapanthus1953]

Same goes for Sibelius' Kullervo.....a masterpiece program symphony!....yet rarely played and not well known.

[@mr-wx3lv]

My set of Sibelius symphonies with Sir Colin Davis/LSO includes Kullervo. And yes it's an incredible piece of music.

[@r.gullick329]

Hehe, I was there, when they performed it. Great Piece of Music, great orchestra!

Bravooooo!!!

[@floragutierrez538]

Maravillosa obra, de mágica orquestación, en una excelente versión

[@jimholder6656]

Such a magnificent performance, but what tepid applause! In the UK (esp. the Proms) or in the USA the audience would be standing and cheering!

[@rcrinsea]

I wonder if it’s because of the sad ending. People are emotionally exhausted after such a work.

[@jimholder6656]

I don't understand it either -- this was simply an astonishing performance! I believe that Continental audiences do tend to be more sedate than those in the UK and USA. However, they seem to be more enthusiastic during the summer "festivals" at places such as Lucerne and in Schleswig-Holstein.

[@robertsousa9550]

Yea, I felt the same way. Too tame. They should have been ecstatic! But then I’m from California. 😊

the tambourin player is awesome :)

[@robertfrankgill5962]

Agreed. But he also looks fearsome. I wouldn't like to meet him in a dark alleyway or spill my drink over him. A violent Eintracht Ultra, possibly

[@AncientOfDays]

BRAVO!

[@alexandrecosta2708]

Yes, it is a symphonic poem and actually not so far away vis a vis those of Richard Strauss... except for its deep intrinsic Russian soul. Just as half a joke, I use to call this piece "Nr. 6-bis" and leaving the real Pathetic as "Nr. 7" . Number 7 has a traditional symbolic value as the Pathetic is a Farewell, Tschaikowsky leaves somehow "for good" the symphonic music "per humana natura". The Mandred symphony still keeps its brave, resilient force, facing destiny and its spinning wheel drive. The Pathetic is a hyper dramatic "profonfo ultimo lamento", maybe the most remarkable I heard, in paralel terms with the Abschied of Mahler (Das Lied von der Erde") and the 1st movement of Fauré's Requiem. But I digress - anyway, thank you for sharing.

[@raymondmahoney2617]

indeed so sad

[@evangelosdrounos5904]

Exciting performance!!! Thang you....

[@DavidPerez-wd6tx]

Bravisimo

[@ludwigvanbeethoven61]

Fun Fact: Tschaikowsky visited Wagners "Festspiele" in Bayreuth once and was totally annoyed by the "ring". Too much dialogue, darkness and loud orchestra. He nearly fell asleep. I like them both!

[@davidevans3227]

yeah, Tchaikovsky not a fan of wagner! nor Brahms lol did you hear about his honorary doctorate at Cambridge?
