Romeo and Juliet

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Česká filharmonie & Vladimír Válek

Romeo and Juliet is a ballet by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1935–36. The score combines lush late-Romantic orchestration with modernist harmonies, propulsive rhythms and neoclassical clarity, employing recurring thematic material to support dramatic pacing, and it occupies a central place in Prokofiev's ballet output and in the development of 20th-century ballet music.
First released: 31st January 2008
