Notes
PROKOFIEV: ROMEO AND JULIET (SUITES NOS 1, 2 AND 3)
‘No one is more warmly dramatic in Prokofiev than Järvi, making his issues consistently recommendable.’
The Guardian
Together, these suites, assembled by the composer himself, offers all the highlights from the ballet Romeo and Juliet and are here performed by the Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi. The recordings are now re-released on the Chandos Classics label.

Reviews
“These are not splashy, high-impact performances…There is something very sweet and gentle about Jarvi’s approach. The music is certainly lyrical, but is seems more so here. There are no dramatics, no pushed climaxes, no jacked-up highs. The music merely unfolds. It’s a relief after so many other performances… If you are used to rich strings and stentorian brass this will seem understated at first. But aren’t you tires of conductors who overstate everything?”
