Thank you to all of you. There are no words to describe the brilliance of this performance.

Prokofiev was an absolute genius

Wow. that is the most transparent and profound rendition ever. I never knew there was so much more to this dance. Keeping the intimate julia- flute part in the exact same tempo as the bombastic crowd scene-part gives it such depth, brilliant

Full body chills instantly! Insanely beautiful, haunting and powerful ❤

They absolutely nailed the depth in that slower cadence that I feel like so many other versions skim over. Love this performance.

This is without doubt the best rendition of this awesome piece.

This the best version in my opinion

I'm 61 now and as a young child I'd go to the Galaxy cinema in my hometown and in the cartoons before the main movie this music would play while the big bad wolf is stalking Peter through the forest.... to this day, 50 years later, it still conjures up thoughts of dark danger, impending doom and threat- I love it, one of my favourites.

This is so powerful, romantic, like a whirlwind...

Montagues and Capulets, also known as Dance of the Knights, is a work of classical music written by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. The piece is the first movement of the Suite No. 2 from Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64ter, which consists of two excerpts from his 1935 ballet Romeo and Juliet. He wrote versions for both orchestra and piano. 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. The history of the creation of the ballet was recited by the composer Sergei Prokofiev himself.

The editing of this video is a true masterpiece....the music as well of course

Oh my God! Goosebumps! Excellent.

Ни у одного западно-европейского классического композитора нет такой брутальности, драмматизма, мощи...и куча других эмоциональных определений вместе взятых как у Прокофьева и пожалуй Муссоргского и Римского-Корсакова! Русские композиторы реально металлисты того времени!

Как же красиво в своем могуществе...

Absolutely superb rendition of a classical masterpiece, bravo

Bellísima pieza musical, con momentos de suspenso y furor que se desarrollan en perfecta armonía, un genio Prokofiev.

This is the first time I've heard this and I didn't want it to end !! Amazing !!

Every note is felt through as if descending down from above..such music such creation!

I like this post of the dance of the knights. It includes the eerie introduction before you are startled by the frightening power of the dance, a monstrously obdurate folk dance (i.e., a march) that suggests the ancient conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets. Very well-edited video, except for a couple of odd inserts here and there. I love the shot at 1:39 of that extremely focused young lady violinist: she matches the passion of the music.
