Manfred Symphony in B minor, Op. 58 is a symphony composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky between May and September 1885. It is based on the poem Manfred written by Lord Byron in 1817. It is the only one of Tchaikovsky's symphonies that is not numbered; it was written between the fourth and fifth symphonies. Some regard it as one of Tchaikovsky's most brilliant and inspirational works; conductor Arturo Toscanini considered it the composer's greatest work. However, others despise it. According to music critic David Hurwitz, composer-conductor Leonard Bernstein referred to it as "trash" and never recorded it.
