Prokofiev: A Selection of Movements from Romeo and Juliet
Nemanja RaduloviÄ (violin)
±«Óătv National Orchestra of Wales
Jaime MartĂn (conductor)
Sergey Prokofiev hoped his musical retelling of Shakespeareâs Romeo and Juliet would have âimmediate appeal yet sound like nothing written beforeâ. Even now, his score delivers on both fronts, showing the composerâs gift for melody and his ability to reconcile his musicâs hard edge with a soft, romantic core. Jaime MartĂn conducts dramatic highlights from Prokofievâs ballet score after charismatic Franco-Serbian soloist Nemanja RaduloviÄ sets off fireworks in the ultimate Romantic violin concerto. And, to begin, the ±«Óătv National Orchestra of Wales unleashes the strident energies of GraĆŒyna Bacewiczâs thrilling Overture, which quotes the famous âV for Victoryâ motif from Beethovenâs Fifth Symphony.
