Manfred Symphony, Op. 58 [Alf:36-A216902]

Tchaikovsky's largest symphony both in length and instrumentation, the MANFRED SYMPHONY remained unnumbered, though it was written between his 4th and 5th symphonies.  A programmatic symphony based on a poem of the same name written by Lord Byron, the work is demanding for orchestras, though some, including Arturo Toscanini, consider it among the composer's best works. Instrumentation: 3(3dPicc).2+EH.2+BCl.3: 4.2+2Crnt.3.1: Timp.Perc(4-5): Hp(2): Harmonium: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
