Tchaikovsky: Manfred Symphony, Op. 58
I. Lento lugubre – Moderato con moto – Andante
II. Vivace con spirito
III. Andante con moto
IV. Allegro con fuoco
Frankfurt Radio Symphony
Dir. Vasily PetrenkoA masterpiece of orchestral writing, with evident influences from Franz Liszt's "Faust Symphony".
Notice the subtle relation of the main theme of the fourth movement with the main theme of the first movement, which relation is made clear only toward the end of the symphony. (Regrettably, this thematically important part of the finale has been occasionally cut off by many conductors, including Svetlanov and the "perfectionist" Toscanini!)
