PROKOFIEV - Romeo & Juliet - Ballet

I've been searching for this song since I was nine years old. I just turned seventeen. IM EXTATIC.

strepitoso

A banquet for my ears and my eyes!

The music in this is brilliant! I'm sooo getting this on my ipod!

this is such a brilllllliant ballet and one of the best known piece of music ever.Love this piece amazing dancing.

Hey agree with you, mrmolinodelahoz, however it is quite brilliant that the choreographer uses 3 or 4 styles within, say, a couple of seconds: jazz/lindy-moves (the Wellington Stepover at 0:15 and 0:23, then a 2-group fuga in the actual music fuga (1:28), old-fashoned Russian propaganda dance (1:46) and traditional Russian dancing at 1:56! Bravo, I'd say! And funny too. But okay, the music beats it.

As this music is so powerful it is very difficult to coreograph a satisfactory ballet as the ballet cannot possibly equal the music. This is always true for Stravinski as well. "I came to see the ballet and ended up listening to the symphony"

Powerful and sweet.

Che mito...

I love the music and the whole of Romeo and Juliet. And I'd like to be in one of the costumes too!
