Ballet Suites: The Nutcracker / The Sleeping Beauty

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Seiji Ozawa & Orchestre de Paris

Ballet Suites: The Nutcracker / The Sleeping Beauty is a compilation album of orchestral suites by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, drawn from the ballets first premiered in 1890 and 1892. The music exemplifies Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic orchestral language, with vivid orchestration, lyrical melodies and dance rhythms rooted in the ballet tradition, and the suites represent key examples of his work in theatrical and dance music within his career and music history.
