Title Note

Why--considering that the CD market is already clogged with recordings of Tchaikovsky's 'Nutcracker'--should you buy this one? There are many cheaper recordings available, and it's one of those works which is so well-known and often-performed that truly bad performances just don't make it into the already-crowded field.

Quite simply, you should buy this recording because if it is not the single best one available on CD, it is among those at the top of the heap. Valery Gergiev and the Kirov Orchestra have brought their magic to yet another Russian masterpiece, as they have done many times already with Russian operas on Philips and in performances around the world. Here, they present the complete 'Nutcracker' rather than just the suite, snugly fit on just one CD. All of the suite's well-known excerpts are here, along with all of the first-rate music that comes in between them. Do yourself a favor and don't pass Gergiev and company over for a lesser recording of the complete work, or even for a great performance of the suite.
