  • Sergei Prokofiev:
    Romeo and Juliet Suite No. 2, Op. 64ter (with Score)
    Conductor: Mariss Jansons
    Orchestra: Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra
    00:00 1. The Montagues and Capulets (Монтекки и Капулетти)
    04:55 2. The Young Juliet (Джульетта-девочка)
    08:46 3. Friar Laurence (Патер Лоренцо)
    11:18 4. Dance (Танец)
    13:17 5. Romeo and Juliet Before Parting (Ромео и Джульетта перед разлукой)
    21:46 6. Dance of the Girls With Lillies (Танец антильских девушек)
    24:01 7. Romeo at Juliet's Grave (Ромео у могилы Джульетты)
    Based on a synopsis created by Adrian Piotrovsky (who first suggested the subject to Prokofiev) and Sergey Radlov, the ballet was composed by Prokofiev in September 1935 to their scenario which followed the precepts of "drambalet" (dramatised ballet, officially promoted at the Kirov Ballet to replace works based primarily on choreographic display and innovation). Following Radlov's acrimonious resignation from the Kirov in June 1934, a new agreement was signed with the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow on the understanding that Piotrovsky would remain involved.
    However, the ballet's original happy ending (contrary to Shakespeare) provoked controversy among Soviet cultural officials. The ballet's production was then postponed indefinitely when the staff of the Bolshoi was overhauled at the behest of the chairman of the Committee on Arts Affairs, Platon Kerzhentsev. The ballet's failure to be produced within Soviet Russia until 1940 may also have been due to the increased fear and caution in the musical and theatrical community in the aftermath of the two notorious Pravda editorials criticising Shostakovich and other "degenerate modernists" including Piotrovsky. The conductor Yuri Fayer met with Prokofiev frequently during the writing of the music, and he strongly urged the composer to revert to the traditional ending. Fayer went on to conduct the first performance of the ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre.
    Suites of the ballet music were heard in Moscow and the United States, but the full ballet premiered in the Mahen Theatre, Brno (then in Czechoslovakia, now in the Czech Republic), on 30 December 1938. This version was a single-act production with music mainly from the first two suites. Prokofiev was not able to attend the premiere due to his status of outbound restriction.

    Prokofiev's attitude to his most popular melody was simply astonishing. He composes it for an opera, then decides not to use it, holds on to it for 10 years, finally includes it in a ballet, then doesn't bother to include it in the 1st suite. It's like he was jealous of it

      One go better: The story of Vertigo parallel Prokofiev's Opera The Fiery Angel. Prokofiev's Renata and Hitchcock's Madeline are possessed women looking for their angel while Jimmy Stewart plays the Rupert character hopelessly in love with Kim Novak's Renata. Renata dies on the cross while Madeline falls to her death from the Bell Tower... both deaths at a convent. The LA Phil did a great video on this: th-cam.com/video/WrH-5Omr_Fo/w-d-xo.html
