Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet / Various Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet / Various CD

This is a 2009 Reissue of the 1987 remastered version of the release. The violent feud between the Montagues and Capulets is evoked by the swaggering Dance of the Knights, but Prokofiev's score brims with bittersweet lyricism in it's depiction of the young lovers, proving him Russian ballet's heir to Tchaikovsky. First performed in 1938, Romeo & Juliet has become the supreme full length ballet of the 20th century. It's many facets are captured in this classic recording by the London Symphony Orchestra under Andre Previn.
