Music from the two settings of Romeo and Juliet. The musical West Side Story and the ballet Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev.

These two new arrangements, written especially for Matt, show not only his ability to play in a variety of musical styles but the great range, beautiful sound, and virtuosic capability of the euphonium as a solo voice.

In the West Side Story suite Matt plays with a small combo style chamber group with piano, bass, and a whole host of percussion instruments.

The Prokofiev suite offers a very different musical presentation of Shakespeare, and is more intimately scored for euphonium and piano only.

Here is a review from Audiophile Audition (middle of page)
