Our Take

The ROH Orchestra and KESSELS have teamed up to bring us Prokofiev's timeless classic, "Romeo and Juliet" live from the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. And let me tell you, this album is a total Montague or Capulet - depending on your taste in music.

From the opening notes of the Overture to the final tragic climax, this performance is dripping with passion, drama, and a healthy dose of Shakespearean flair. The orchestra's precision and KESSELS' direction bring Prokofiev's score to life in a way that will have you reaching for your balcony seats to take in every moment.

The interplay between the strings and brass sections is nothing short of magical, as they dance and duel their way through the famous love story. The haunting melodies of "Dance of the Knights" will send shivers down your spine, while the tender moments of "Balcony Scene" will have you swooning like a teenager in love.

But it's not all star-crossed romance - tracks like "The Death of Tybalt" pack a punch with their dramatic intensity, showcasing the orchestra's versatility and range.

In conclusion, ROH Orchestra and KESSELS have delivered a performance worthy of a standing ovation. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" sweep you off your feet - just be sure to watch out for any poison-filled goblets along the way.
