RSNO Naked Classics: Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet

Alan Coady, 17th February

If asked to single out one moment which illustrates the value of dynamic contrast in music, I might choose 'Montagues and Capulets' from Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet. As a prelude to this 'Naked Classics' exploration the RSNO played a short extract of the movement.
