5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding in every respect 5 April 2011
By TRT
Format:Audio CD
You'd really expect Valery Gergiev to be able to give a special account of Romeo and Juliet, but this is thrilling edge-of-the-seat stuff. The standard of musicianship in every single section of the LSO is exceptional. The fight at the end of Act 2 in particular is one of the most exciting and things I have ever heard - it really makes me wish I could play the trumpet. Typically excellent sound from producer James Mallinson.

4.0 out of 5 stars Certainly different! 5 Feb 2010
By D. S. CROWE TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Philips Kirov/Gergiev has been the obvious 1st choice for the complete score of this magnificent work-true, there is little competition but it would stand up well against ANY competition-especially the re-mastered issue in the "50th " set.
So is there any merit in considering this new LSO Live recording as an alternative or an add-on?
The answer is a qualified yes. LSO Live recordings vary in sound quality from simply awful (e.g Elgar 3rd Symphony/Davis) to rather good, if not brilliant (e.g Les Troyens/Davis).
The much praised and award -winning Gergiev set of Prokofiev Symphonies was a massive disappointment to me, sonically and artistically-sonically very constricted, performances dull.
This set is much better-the sound is still a touch dry, but there is much more space and detail than normal, and overall it is the best I have heard from this source-so the sound is fine!
The performance is RADICALLY different from the earlier one-much faster in general, less tempo variations in some numbers, much more in others.There are in addition extra numbers and additions to numbers, so there is more music than previously-ballet scores from Russia in this era vary enormously from edition to edition, as music was added for some preformances, removed from others.
So texturally it is interesting.
Gergiev's reading is very exciting at these often breakneck speeds, and the LSO play like demons (or angels?) with the weight of percussion and Heavy brass very well caught. Try the Dance of The Knights (yes, the Theme from the Apprentice UK!) and if you find that speed to your liking, you'll like it all well enough. For me, it's an interesting adjunct to his earlier reading which to my taste is still first choice-but this is a terric performance and and a pretty good recording. It's a tremendous bargain at amazon's price, so on those grounds alone I would advise everyone to buy it-if you are only going to invest in one recording, then the Krov (Maryinsky) is a wonderful performance and a superb recording and would be first choice. Best advice-get them both and enjoy comparing. If you've got the earlier set, go for this one too.It is certainly different enough to warrant it. Stewart Crowe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous Romeo & Juliet 7 April 2011
By JLE
Format:Audio CD
This ticks all the boxes of an excellent recording. The sound is fabulous, and the variety in timbre is exquisite. The dynamic spectrum is broad and I find the articulation delightful in its accuracy and attention to detail. Romeo & Juliet in particular is a great title for someone looking for an introduction to classical ballet music. It is instantly appealing and memorable and also of the highest standard played by what must be the greatest orchestra in the world, the LSO, led by the greatest and ever charismatic conductor, Valery Gergiev. This recording welcomes you into Prokofiev's rich, vibrant and unique sound world. From start to finish this is a winning production.

it is the worst Romeo and Juliet i have ever hear. I don,t understand why it has the disc of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recording
Composing music for ballet often seems to bring out the best in composers, especially Prokofiev. His symphonies and operas are rewarding but require serious listening. Read more

This is Gergiev in his element - you can practically feel the passion burst through the speakers. A must-have recording of this exquisite work.
