Romeo and Juliet Suites 1 and 2

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Seattle Symphony & Gerard Schwarz

Romeo and Juliet Suites 1 and 2 are orchestral suites by Sergei Prokofiev, derived from his ballet composed in 1935-36. They showcase Prokofiev's lyrical melodic writing, colourful and dramatic orchestration and a blend of late-Romantic and 20th-century harmonic language, and they occupy a central place in his output of ballet and orchestral music as distilled concert excerpts from the full score.
First released: 1986
