Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker [2LP]

Sir Simon Rattle leads the Berliner Philharmoniker in Tchaikovsky's beloved ballet score, the music behind countless holiday seasons. Act I was recorded in the studio, while Act II comes from the orchestra's New Year's Eve concert in December 2009, giving the second half an extra spark of live energy. Rattle brings out both the sparkle of the Kingdom of Sweets and the warmth of the battle and snow scenes, with the orchestra's rich strings and characterful woodwinds to the fore. Presented here as a double vinyl 2LP set from Warner Classics.
