Tchaikovsky on the last year of his life wanted to write opera "Romeo and Juliet", but he died. All that he was able to wrote, was his sketch of the duet of Romeo and Juliet, that was completed by Taneev. It's a rare piece of Tchaikovsky.

There's a CD from Chandos with Rachmaninov's The Bells, Choral Symphony and Vocalise completed with this Tchaikovsky piece and his Festival Coronation March. Performed by the Scottish National Orchestra by Neem Jarvi. Soloists in the duo are Suzanne Murphy, Keith Lewis.

thank you so much for posting this. i had a recording of this piece on an old 78 and lost it. have been looking for it ever since. do you have any other recordings of this piece? perhaps older versions from the past? thanks.

There was a performance in London with the London Symphony in the late 1970s of this duet, with tenor Carlos Montane and an American soprano which was broadcasted by BBC. Anybody has a recording of that performance ?. These young singers have good voices, but as students they are extremelly academic with very poor phrasing. It will be interesting to hear it with such an orchestra as the London Symphony and Mr. Montane

That is sooo incredible and I felt deeply moving on this duet piece "Duet of Romeo and Juliet" by Tchaikovsky-Taneev....and Tchaikovsky will always be proud of his only sketched work just days before his death on November 6, 1893 at the age of 53.

The singing is glorious but there is no chemistry between these two.
