Music from Romeo and Juliet

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & San Francisco Symphony & Esa‐Pekka Salonen

Music from Romeo and Juliet is a suite of orchestral music from Sergei Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet, composed in 1935–36. The score is characterised by late-Romantic orchestration combined with modernist harmonies and sharply defined rhythmic drives, pairing expansive lyrical writing with dramatic, theatrical passages that represent a key stage in Prokofiev's 1930s output and his development as a composer for the stage.
