Performance Notes | Sergey Prokofiev hoped his musical retelling of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet would have immediate appeal yet sound like nothing written before. Even now, his score delivers on both fronts, showing the composers gift for melody and his ability to reconcile his musics hard edge with a soft, romantic core.
Jaime Marti´n conducts dramatic highlights from Prokofievs ballet score after charismatic Franco-Serbian soloist Nemanja Radulovic´ sets off fireworks in the ultimate Romantic violin concerto. And, to begin, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales unleashes the strident energies of Graz?yna Bacewiczs thrilling Overture, which quotes the famous V for Victory motif from Beethovens Fifth Symphony.
