	Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Program Notes Tchaikovsky - Romeo and Juliet
		After Berlioz saw Romeo and Juliet in a Paris theater and fell desperately in love with Harriet Smithson, who played Juliet, he announced his intention to marry the actress and to write a dramatic symphony (now known as the Symphonie fantastique) based on the play—and did both within a decade.
		Although Tchaikovsky and Balakirev had a falling out that year, Tchaikovsky continued to turn to Shakespeare for inspiration: in 1873 he fashioned a symphonic fantasy from The Tempest and late in 1876 he complained of losing sleep over Othello, which he was determined to turn into an opera.
		Tchaikovsky composed Romeo and Juliet between October 7 and November 27, 1869.

	Romeo and Juliet (Tchaikovsky) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Romeo and Juliet is a musical work by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
		The group was not entirely sympathetic to Tchaikovsky’s musical outlook, which was too international for their liking.) Despite the fact that Balakirev had many problems in his own musical life, he had a head full of ideas, and almost a compulsion to persistently give detailed help to all the musicians he met.
		In suggesting this, Balakirev knew that Tchaikovsky had just emerged from what would be his only real infatuation with a member of the opposite sex, a Belgian soprano named Désirée Artôt.

	Romeo and Juliet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Juliet is unwilling to enter this arranged marriage, telling her parents that she will not marry, and when she does, "it shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate." Capulet flies into a rage.
		Romeo and Juliet was published in two distinct quarto editions prior to the publication of the First Folio of 1623.
		Romeo and Juliet is one of the earlier works in the Shakespearean canon, and while it is often classified as a tragedy, it does not bear the hallmarks of the 'great tragedies' like Hamlet and Macbeth.

	Romeo and Juliet Ballet
		Perhaps it is due to the fact that Romeo and Juliet as a ballet is of recent vintage, that despite its established reputation, it is unlike Swan Lake or The Sleeping Beauty where large amounts of the original choreography are accepted as masterpieces to be replicated in tact.
		Juliet is first seen in bare feet getting out of her bath, this is chosen to highlight not only her youth but to underline the artificial and ceremonial nature of her entrance into the world at the ball where all are in pointe shoes.
		Juliet arrives at Friar Laurence’s cell and with the quick arrival of Romeo and the nurse the two are united in marriage.

		Tchaikovsky’s first masterpiece, Romeo and Juliet, surprisingly comes to us not as a stroke of inspirational genius but as the result of a young man working to gain the approval of a peer.
		Tchaikovsky embraced the idea, likely because he recently had been left heartbroken by the Belgian soprano Désirée Artôt (his only heterosexual romance), whom he had planned to meet in Paris to discuss marriage.
		Tchaikovsky awakens them to a stormy development section where the friar’s theme grows more frantic against the feuding theme, symbolizing the friar’s urgent pleas for peace.

		Tchaikovsky weathered the criticism, recognizing that Balakirev was correct: Fatum suffered from a lack of focus.
		In proposing this topic, Balakirev likely knew that Tchaikovsky had just emerged from what would be his only infatuation with a member of the opposite sex, a Belgian soprano named Désirée Artôt with whom he had discussed marriage, but who had recently married a Spanish baritone.
		Tchaikovsky's deeper emotional struggle, however, was with his homosexuality.

		The Romeo and Juliet Fantasy is decent, but again the recording and mixing make it impossible to fully enjoy the piece.
		One more thing about Romeo and Juliet: Tchaikovsky was a Romantic composer, and he meant his pieces to be played with a great deal of Rubato and Accelerando (slowing down/speeding up the tempo).
		The "Romeo and Juliet" overture fantasia captures the high points of Shakespeare's tragedy with memorable melodies that are wonderfully played by the New York Philharmonic.

	Overture Fantasia, "Romeo and Juliet" - Tchaikovsky
		The Overture Fantasia, "Romeo and Juliet," one of Tchaikovsky’s earlier works, was written in 1870 and is dedicated to his friend Balakirev, the Russian composer, who suggested the subject to him.
		It was to be in sonata form and the scheme as follows: "First, an introduction of a religious character, carried out by a chorale, representation of Friar Laurence, followed by an Allegro in B minor (Balakirev suggesting most of the tonalities), which is to depict the enmity between the Montagues and Capsulets.

		In the Romeo and Juliet, which is executed with every kind of sensitivity to balance and spaciousness (without inflating to Celibidache’s overwrought proportions), the harp and muted tympani effects combine with smoothly evocative transports of the melodic line to achieve a monumental luster.
		Ivan brings to the podium a sense of color as pointed as that of Stokowski, but with his own restraint and polish; perhaps there is something of the Fricsay legacy in his temperament.

	SACD Review: Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (Gatti) - ‘Tchaikovsky: Symphony No.5, Romeo and Juliet Overture’
		The farther from the blue line of Tchaikovsky’s stated intentions, the more exaggerated a performance is. I selected six demonstrative performances: Celibidache, Abbado (his first recording, with the London Symphony), Jansons, Klemperer, Horenstein, and Mravinsky.
		The one place where he hits Tchaikovsky’s mark is in the final presto, where everyone else goes through the roof on the high end of the scale.
		In terms of performance, though, Gatti’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is the finest to have come down the pike since Carlo Maria Giulini’s intense, passionate reading for EMI in the 1960’s.

		A year later Tchaikovsky had produced a score that is an unqualified triumph, announcing the arrival of composer of genius, and bearing all the unique Tchaikovsky hallmarks.
		The work’s success in this form transformed Tchaikovsky’s tendency to crippling self-doubt into more useful self-criticism, and marks the start of a legendary 30 year composing career.
