About This Song
About "Romeo & Juliet, Op. 64, Act II: No. 36, Finale" by Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
The Finale of Prokofiev’s ballet arrives as a storm of thwarted love and fatal inevitability, the Baltimore Symphony driving toward a devastating, brass-heavy climax. Joy and grief collide in a single, shattering gesture—a monument built from broken vows. The last chord hangs like a tombstone, beautiful and final.
