Description
Two Russian masterpieces, both of them by composers fêted for their ballets as well as their symphonies.
Daniele Gatti and his Royal Philharmonic Orchestra offer a selection from Prokofiev's amazingly original and thrilling music for Romeo and Juliet. They end with Tchaikovsky's great Fifth Symphony, in many ways as harrowing a work as the devastating Pathétique (Prom 66).
Gatti's flair for orchestral colour and emotional intensity is well-suited to this Romantic idiom.
* Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet - excerpts (48 mins)
