About "Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 / Act I : Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 / Act I: Serge PROKOFIEV : Roméo et Juliette. Danse des chevaliers" by Boston Symphony Orchestra

Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights stomps with brutal grandeur, a march of armored shadows. Brass and percussion hammer out a rhythm both majestic and menacing, the tension between courtly pomp and latent violence palpable. It's a ballroom scene with a dagger hidden in the sash, elegance sharpened to a point.
