The basis for Tchaikovsky’s “Manfred Symphony” is a poem by Lord Byron. The protagonist struggles with himself, tormented by a forbidden love. In the rustic alpine he tries to find peace and answers. Tchaikovsky also found inspiration for this work in the Alps. His Manfred symphony, rarely performed but a favorite of Jaap van Zweden, is full of extremes. Between drama and tranquility. Among the picturesque nature and man with all his sins. Between despair and, ultimately, hope.
