TCHAIKOVSKY Waltz of the Flowers (From "The Nutcracker") / Mstislav Rostropovich | Deutsche Grammophon

This excerpt of a newly remastered 1978 recording of the Waltz of the Flowers of Tchaikovsky’s famous Nutcracker ballet is performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich. The piece gently sets the mood for Christmas and gives a first 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.
