Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet - Death of Tybalt

[PicardFan94]

Hey, I remember playing this my freshman year in high school. The bass part was a lot of fun!

[werkzeug0]

Tybalt was tortured

[rj28sc]

About 550 note in under a minute for the violins during that 'fight'. Massive respect to anyone who can play that!

[ibgH2O]

so intense Prokofiev is Dancing with the devil...

[SambabexXx]

omg r piece for orchestra..hardest violing piece ever...-.-

[sexysousa70]

if you listen to every piece from this play, and then you listen to half of John Williams stuff...hmmm... sounds a bit familiar, doesnt it. o.o ....

[rebeccamcelroy1000]

looking at all the comments about the difficulty of the violin part, i feel lucky to have escaped with second violin

[UnionSquirrel]

Si we learn about all the great artists of literature in school, but no one knows who Prokofiev or Tchaikovsky is. This music is now considered bad in modern teenage culture.

Played this in the LSSO as a violinist! Bloody hard, but to play, it feels AMAZING!

[falpalemily]

I love this! Thank you so much for posting!!

[TehSmellulare]

I saw the Chicago Symphony Orchestra do this one at Ravinia. It's quite good, Prokofiev and other Russian composers have a style that is very different from the rest of their peers!

BRAVO!!!

[weloveTMNT75]

The most creative use of dissonance ever heard

[canoluk2007]

the best part of the suite, it is =)

[mangomightymouse]

3:59 always gives me goose bumps. EVERY TIME.

[Schubert958]

Wow, that was intense. great

[ultimat3gangstarr]

This is my favorite movement of the entire Suite!

As a violinist I can't help but smile when the fast part comes along at 1:33...:)))

[simcha181818]

@ultimat3gangstarr Do you also smile when you play the fast parts or only when others play it for you?

[SickForest]

Have you hear the beggining of the whole Romeo & Juliet´s ? It has a very out of time and space sound... At the beggining of Dance of the Knights I think... Sorry my english

[LEOPARDTWO]

Masterful. Five stars.

[fourplusseven]

Who is playing and conducting please?

It's well played. One of the best I've heard.

[SilverInsanity]

2:50 until the end always haunted me. Everything about the music, it's so grief-filled and just captures the emotion perfectly. How anyone can choreograph a ballet to this music and have it live up to the legacy is amazing.

[dorkfaceflutexo]

saw the Philadelphia orchestra rehearse this today

HOLY crap

it was amazing

[MrFauteuil]

Perfect.

[fieryphoenixchick]

so hard to play on the violin... but this piece one of the most amazingly epic pieces i've ever played in orchestra

[chrischang127]

one of the most difficult orchestral pieces to play on the violin ever >_>

[eguirald]

The best of the best of the 20th Century.

[thanosMo]

eisai theos!
