Music by Prokofiev and Mendelssohn, both inspired by Shakespeare. Mendelssohn’s masterly overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, composed when he was still a teenager, is paired with Prokofiev’s dramatic music from Romeo and Juliet. Between them, we hear Reinhold Glière’s sparkling Harp Concerto with the French star harpist Xavier de Maistre as soloist. The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted by Chief Conductor Ryan Bancroft.
