PROKOFIEV - Symphony No. 2
PROKOFIEV - Acts 3 and 4, from Romeo and Juliet
Prokofiev, was a master at musical storytelling, and his ballet score to Shakespeare’s famous love story is his best-known and most passionate score. The music brings Romeo and Juliet and their conflicting families fully to life — with music that is in turn lushly romantic, playfully whimsical, deftly tuneful, poignantly heartfelt, and powerfully overwhelming.
