Could I please aks for recommendations of Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet (need
not be complete).  I'd like stunning sound and playing with rich bass and
timpani, virtuoso conducting with some quicksilver tempi when required and
a sense of 'story' and emotion.  That's all!

I've heard the MTT/SFSO which is excellent except a little bass-light.  The
Cleveland/Maazel recording is brilliantly played but also a little light
footed.

I see the BPO/Salonen digital recording is now at superbudget price.  This
looks tempting.

Many thanks inadvance,
