Romeo & Juliet

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & DR SymfoniOrkestret & Dmitri Kitayenko

Romeo and Juliet is a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1935–36. The score features vivid orchestration, distinctive recurring motifs and strong rhythmic drive that combine lyricism with dramatic tension, and it comes from Prokofiev's mid-1930s period when he concentrated on large-scale, narrative works for the stage.
