'A dark saying that must be left unguessed.’ Fourteen variations on a single theme—it sounds simple, almost trivial, maybe even a bit dull. Yet the playful sketch Elgar improvised one evening at the piano grew into one of the most iconic works in the symphonic repertoire.
‘That old, but eternally new subject, Romeo and Juliet.’
Romeo and Juliet is the ultimate love story, which Tchaikovsky transforms into a gripping musical drama, full of passion, tension, and lyrical beauty.
