Romeo & Juliet

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Daniele Gatti

Romeo and Juliet is a ballet score by Sergei Prokofiev, composed in 1935–36. The music blends late-Romantic orchestration with a modern harmonic language, combining sweeping melodies, vivid orchestral colour and rhythmic drive to provide dramatic characterisation and to occupy a central place in the 20th-century ballet repertoire.
First released: 1999
