[andhow04]

the montagues and capulets from romeo and juliet pieces op.75!
this was the heart of a program called amantes sunt amentes which featured music about mad and ill-fated lovers, including ophelia, king lear, schumann and romeo & juliet.

Great job! you definitely have a feeling for Prokofiev and his score for R&J. Prokofiev's  use of the percusive dramatic parts in contrast with the lyrical are well played. the opening knocked me off my chair!
