LSO Live celebrates it’s tenth anniversary in 2010 and the label’s first release of the year features Prokofiev’s spectacular score for the ballet Romeo & Juliet, conducted by Valery Gergiev. Gergiev is a tireless champion of Prokofiev’s music. ” the strings were supple and radiant… The brass, much used by Prokofiev, were tirelessly accurate, and the woodwind especially character, with some of the orchestra’s younger players playing out of their skins. The best ballets contain music almost too good to be wasted on dancers. ” – concert review from the Mail on Sunday.
