Romeo and Juliet

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & The Cleveland Orchestra & Lorin Maazel

Romeo and Juliet is a ballet score by Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1935-36. The music combines late-Romantic orchestration with modernist harmonies, propulsive rhythms and expressive leitmotivic writing, and it occupies an important place in Prokofiev's output and in the development of 20th-century ballet music.
First released: 9th June 1998
