About Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker - Complete Ballet
Product description No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: TCHAIKOVSKY,P.I. Title: NUTCRACKER-COMP Street Release Date: 10/20/1998 Domestic Genre: XMAS CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTAL Amazon.com Although Gergiev is highly experienced in the theater, and he is leading an opera-ballet orchestra, this is definitely a concert Nutcracker. Tempos are brisk, textures streamlined, and dancers might have a good deal of difficulty keeping up with the music. For us home listeners, though, this is a superb way to hear Tchaikovsky's complete score and to remind ourselves of how much good music isn't included in the familiar suite. Gergiev justifies his reputation as an interpreter and as an orchestra leader, getting amazingly precise playing from the ensemble. Best of all, Philips has somehow crammed more than 81 minutes of superb sound onto this disc, making it a remarkable bargain. Very highly recommended! --Leslie Gerber
