The Nutcracker

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Mariss Jansons

The Nutcracker is a two-act ballet score by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, premiered in 1892. Musically it combines Romantic orchestration, vivid orchestral colour and dance-derived rhythms to create a sequence of characterful sections that reflect Tchaikovsky's late-period focus on programme-driven ballet writing.
