Prokofiev - Ten Pieces from Romeo and Juliet, op.75
on: April 16, 2019, 03:23:15 PM
i think i have posted excerpts of these but here is the whole set, live from a concert in March near Boston.

these pieces are one of my favorite things to play on stage, the audiences adore every one, and even though it's a solid 30 minutes nobody feels like it is overlong.

unforgettable melodies, athletic pianism, dance rhythms, they have everything.

there are time codes in the description if you want to hear a particular movement

very nice. Might be banal but I never refuse listening to Montagues and Capulets.
Your channel has a very interesting choice of repertoire: really appreciated some Medtner's stuff that I didn't know, Bach's Italian Concerto and the Esquisses d'Oiseaux which is more or less the only thing I tolerate from Messiaen :)
Will keep listening to your stuff. Cheers!

no it's not banal at all it's an excellent piece, and i realized it is structured just like Rachmaninoff prelude in g minor: the big march outer sections, and the intimate melodic material in the middle. both of them get out of the middle with a huge crescendo into the original material...

i have a wide musical appetite and play a pretty large variety of things! hopefully there will be some more coming this summer. thanks for listening
