Manfred Symphony / The Voyevoda

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Vasily Petrenko

Manfred Symphony / The Voyevoda is a recorded release of orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the Manfred Symphony having been composed in 1885 and The Voyevoda originating in 1867. The Manfred Symphony is a large-scale programme symphony employing dramatic Romantic orchestration, expanded forms and recurring motifs, while The Voyevoda reflects an earlier, more lyrical and folkloric approach with rich orchestral colour; together the works illustrate Tchaikovsky's evolution from youthful lyricism to a denser, more programmatic late style and occupy distinct positions in his symphonic output.
