SERGE PROKOFIEV (1891-1953)
Romeo and Juliet
Excerpts from Suites no. 1 (op. 64a), no. 2 (op. 64b) and no. 3 (op. 101)

Amazon Editorial Review:
"Rather than play any single complete suite (of the three) that Prokofiev extracted from the complete ballet, Myung-Whun Chung makes his own selection of numbers, roughly following the plot line and including music representative of all the major characters. Although some other collections offer more music, this hour of Romeo and Juliet makes a satisfying presentation on its own. What makes the performance special is the spectacular playing of the Dutch orchestra. Frankly, it's never been done better. From the whiplash virtuosity of the violins to the bite of the trombones and the firm thud of the bass drum, this is the sound the composer must have dreamed of." --David Hurwitz
