The Nutcracker

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Российский национальный оркестр & Mikhail Pletnev

The Nutcracker is a ballet score by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, first performed in 1892. The work features Romantic orchestration with vividly characterised dances, waltzes and marches, and its suite-based structure and melodic material have made it a staple of the ballet repertoire and orchestral programming.
