The Nutcracker Suite

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Antal Doráti

The Nutcracker Suite is an orchestral suite by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, arranged in 1892 from his ballet The Nutcracker. The music exemplifies Romantic-era orchestral writing, featuring colourful orchestration, dance-derived rhythms and contrasting character pieces, and the suite distils highlights of the larger ballet into a compact concert format that broadened the work's exposure beyond the stage.
