TCHAIKOVSKY Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy (From "The Nutcracker") / Mstislav Rostropovich | Deutsche Grammophon

This excerpt from a newly remastered 1978 recording of the famous Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker ballet is performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich. The piece gently sets the mood for Christmas and gives a glimpse of an album featuring the entire Nutcracker Suite, to be released in October. Combining radiant orchestral colour and irresistible theatrical energy, this timeless interpretation captures the magic of Tchaikovsky’s score at its most vivid.
