Royal Liverpool Philharmonic: Petrenko conducts Manfred Symphony

О событии

So you thought Tchaikovsky only wrote six symphonies? Then prepare to be astonished, as Vasily Petrenko steers the RLPO through the ‘forgotten’ Tchaikovsky symphony – Manfred, a huge, darkly dramatic musical portrayal of a self‐destructive hero tormented by a forbidden love.

Sounds like vintage Tchaikovsky? If you’ve already heard our Classic FM Gramophone Award‐winning recording, you won’t need persuading! A rare chance to hear one of the world’s top pianists as well as Hélène Grimaud makes her Liverpool debut in Mozart’s most romantic concerto.

"Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony presents abundant evidence of the orchestra’s new glory. Feel that crackle of electricity. Listen to the woodwinds’ bright dexterity in the water sprays of the second movement, the strings’ ravishingly controlled pianissimo at the movement’s close, or the fat confidence of the brass. Throughout, the orchestra’s ensemble spirit is so tight that you could cut yourself on the music’s edges. " — The Times, 2008 on the Phil / Petrenko Classic FM Gramophone Award‐winning recording of the Manfred Symphony
