About This Song
About "Romeo & Juliet, Op. 64, Act II: No. 30, Public Merrymaking" by Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
Prokofiev's 'Public Merrymaking' erupts with brassy swagger and percussive bite. The Baltimore Symphony captures a crowd's manic energy—festive on the surface, but edged with the threat of violence. It's a dance on a knife's edge, jubilant and dangerous.
