About This Song
About "Romeo & Juliet, Op. 64, Act II: No. 28, Romeo at Friar Laurence's" by Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
Romeo at Friar Laurence's: Prokofiev writes hesitation into every line. The Baltimore Symphony shapes a nervous, searching melody—youthful urgency tempered by solemn counsel. The music hovers between hope and dread, a heartbeat quickening in a quiet room.
