成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales
Jaime Mart铆n (conductor)

Sergey Prokofiev hoped his musical retelling of Shakespeare鈥檚 Romeo and Juliet would have 鈥榠mmediate appeal yet sound like nothing written before鈥�. Even now, his score delivers on both fronts, showing the composer鈥檚 gift for melody and his ability to reconcile his music鈥檚 hard edge with a soft, romantic core. Jaime Mart铆n conducts dramatic highlights from Prokofiev鈥檚 ballet score after charismatic Franco-Serbian soloist Nemanja Radulovi膰 sets off fireworks in the ultimate Romantic violin concerto. And, to begin, the 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales unleashes the strident energies of Gra偶yna Bacewicz鈥檚 thrilling Overture, which quotes the famous 鈥榁 for Victory鈥� motif from Beethoven鈥檚 Fifth Symphony.
