About This Song

About "Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 / Act I : Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 / Act I: No. 12, Masks" by Boston Symphony Orchestra

Masks whirl in a dizzying carnival of shifting identities, Prokofiev's pizzicato strings and skittish woodwinds darting like revelers in shadow. Boston Symphony captures the breathless thrill of disguiseโ€”laughter masking fear, flirtation veiling threat. The gaiety spins on a knife's edge.
