Sometimes you watch a film and love the music, excitedly find it when you get home and take a listen, but somehow without the visuals it’s just a bit flat and disappointing. Well, Prokofiev’s score to the ballet Romeo and Juliet is absolutely not flat without the dance. If anything concentrating on the music alone makes you realise just how stunningly dramatic it is – the passion, tragedy and conflict are all there in spades. It shares the bill tonight with Walton’s warm and elegant Cello Concerto.
