Kirov Orchestra - Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker

Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker ballet from 1892 by Tchaikovsky, has some of the most famous music ever from a ballet. The ballet and the music are very popular around Christmas. The "March" and the "Trepak" are some of my favorite songs on this recording by Valery Gergiev and the Kirov Orchestra.
