Yet why wait until then? The present disc gives you all the highlights, including the sparkling \"Miniature Overture and March\", and the dramatic climax of Act One, where Clara and the Nutcracker defeat the evil forces of the Mouse King (Disney couldn't have devised a better scenario). Even with a composer as fluent in melody as Tchaikovsky, its amazing just how many of them are packed into Act Two. The \"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy\", for instance, and the \"Waltz of the Flowers\"; while older listeners in the UK will instantly connect the \"Dance of the Reeds\" with a commercial for a certain chocolate bar. The \"Final Waltz and Apotheosis\" prove once again that no one matches Tchaikovsky when it comes to style and spectacle in dance. Mackerras gets fizzing playing from the LSO, and conveys the charm of this music without any sentimentality. At the price, its a lot cheaper then a visit to the ballet, and you can enjoy it all year round. --Richard Whitehouse\n\nProduct description\n\nTchaikovsky,P.I. ~ Nutcracker-Hlts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 089408014024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0089408014024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 089408014024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46942476665091,"sku":"TD-DQ3X-877H","price":6.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/51olkxTeD_L.jpg?v=1750138402","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/tchaikovsky-nutcracker-excerpts","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
