5.0 out of 5 stars Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet ballet, 18 Oct 2009

By	Dr. H. A. Jones (Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ballet with music by Sergei Prokofiev, libretto by Prokofiev and Sergei Radlov based on the play by Shakespeare. The original choreography was by Leonid Lavrovsky, and was revised by Yuri Grigorovich.
This score of nearly two and a half hours is performed by the Bolshoi Ballet company of Moscow, with the Bolshoi Theatre orchestra conducted by Algis Zhuraitis.
Romeo is danced by Irek Mukhamedov and Juliet by Grigorovich's wife, Natalia Bessmertnova, herself a protege of the famous ballerina Galina Ulanova.

The score was composed by Prokofiev in 1935, with Ulanova as Juliet for its first Russian performance in 1940. Overall, the music is sumptuously beautiful, though there are dramatic contrasts of violence and tenderness as reflected in the play. The composition dates from the same years as the Second Violin Concerto and Peter and the Wolf. The costumes are colourful and look totally appropriate for a Shakespearean drama - no kinky modern interpretations here!
If you love modern (as opposed to classical) ballet you will love this music and dance. This recording of an atmospheric live performance at the Bolshoi dates from 1989.
