Romeo & Juliet

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Vladimir Ashkenazy

Romeo and Juliet is an orchestral overture-fantasia by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1869 with significant revisions completed later. The piece employs Romantic-era orchestration with broad lyrical themes, dramatic contrasts and programme-driven motives, and it occupies an important place in Tchaikovsky's early career as an exploration of programme music and thematic transformation.
