Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Oslo‐Filharmonien & Mariss Jansons

Manfred Symphony in Four Scenes, Op. 58 is a programme symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1885. The large-scale, four-scene work employs expansive orchestration, dramatic contrasts and thematic transformation to depict a literary-inspired, Romantic narrative and represents a late-period exploration of Tchaikovsky's engagement with programme symphonic writing.
