LSO Live celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2010 and the label's first release of the year features Prokofiev's spectacular score for the ballet Romeo & Juliet conducted by Valery Gergiev. Gergiev is a tireless champion of Prokofiev's music. His complete cycle of the composer's symphonies with the LSO won a 2004 Gramophone Award. Shortly afterward, Gergiev was named Principal Conductor of the orchestra and spent much of 2008 and 2009 touring Prokofiev's symphonies with the LSO in Europe, Japan and the USA. Gergiev's forthcoming LSO Live releases include a Rachmaninov symphony cycle as well as music by Ravel, Stravinsky, Debussy and Strauss. Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet has a strong claim to being the greatest ballet. Not only does it contain much of the composer’s finest and most instantly appealing music, it is also considered one of the most exceptional musical realisations of Shakespeare.
