‘How silver-sweet sound lovers’ tongues by night, Like softest music to attending ears!’ Shakespeare’s star-cross’d lovers have inspired composers for centuries, but nothing quite matches Prokofiev’s great Soviet ballet: Romeo and Juliet retold in music as sharp as a rapier and as tender as a kiss. It’s hot stuff, but Principal Conductor of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Gemma New, and the ‘exquisite tone’ (The New York Times) of Randall Goosby, cool things down in the most elegant and enjoyable way imaginable – with a delicious concerto by the teenage Mozart.
