RECORDS NUTCRACKER SUITE BY TCHAIKOVSKY VICTOR RECORDS

PentaTone Classics

The Russian State Symphony Orchestra presents their version of the classic Nutcracker Suite on this album. Tchaikovsky's original music is fantastic, truly a wonderful composition that is given the proper respect by the orchestra. Although this may only appeal to fans of the ballet itself (or at least classical music fans), this is still a good rendition of a holiday tradition. ~ Bradley Torreano

The Nutcracker was recorded by the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra at Skywalker Sound in Marin, CA in 1988, and was self-produced cooperatively by members of the orchestra. The idea was conceived by Donald O'Brien, who was principal clarinetist with the orchestra for 30 years, and who was the executive producer for this recording. LINER NOTES: The Nutcracker is perhaps the most familiar and best loved music of Peter. I. Tchaikovsky. His score was written as a ballet and based on the popular French version by Alexander Dumas of the E.T.A. Hoffman story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King." The premiere of the ballet was in St. Petersburg on December 17, 1892. The San Francisco Ballet presented the first full-length production of the Nutcracker in the United States in December of 1944. Almost 100 years after its premiere, the Nutcracker still remains a beloved ballet favorite and has become a cherished family celebration at Christmas time.

Recording information: Victoria Hall, Geneva, Switzerland.
