Answer by del_icious_manager
‘Dance of the Knights’ is a section from Prokofiev’s ballet ‘Romeo and Juliet’. He wrote this work during 1934-36 shortly after his return to the Soviet Union after living for a while in Paris and then the USA.
Although, of course, part of the complete ballet, ‘Dance of the Knights’ is also included in the first movement of the second of three suites Prokofiev extracted from the complete ballet (which is some two-and-half hours long) in 1937. The ‘Dance of the Knights’ forms the bulk of the movement entitled ‘Montagues and Capulets’. This is a composite movement especially arranged for the Second Suite and it does not exist in this form in the complete ballet. There are many recordings of this music and so you will not find it hard to find with a little help from your search engine.

Of course as always Del is correct. I need to add one thing though. In classical music we don't have albums, we have works. Many classical works will be on a single cd album nowawadays because classical music unlike some genres AHem is not about making money.
