The Nutcracker

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Oregon Ballet Theatre Orchestra & Niel DePonte

The Nutcracker is a ballet score by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1892. The music draws on Romantic orchestral traditions with richly coloured orchestration, dance-derived rhythms and folk-influenced motifs, and it represents a key example of Tchaikovsky's late-ballet output and its impact on subsequent ballet repertoire and orchestral programming.
