Part of the BBC Proms. As the moody Romantic hero par excellence, Byron's Manfred appealed to artists across the board. While the brooding overture of Schumann's incidental music captures the tale's supernatural Alpine setting, Tchaikovsky's response is a fusion of tone-poem and Classical form whose full-length portrait of the protagonist stands as one of its composer's greatest achievements. Brilliant Macedonian pianist Simon Simon Trpceski, a graduate of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme, joins the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic under its trailblazing Principal Conductor Vasily Petrenko. Finish time: approx. 21:50
