It Doesn't Have to Christmas
This is an excellent recording of the Nutcracker! It's wonderful to have the full ballet instead of just selections from the suite. The music somehow stays timeless even after millions of seasonal ballet performances and use in shopping malls....

If you aren't a classical snob . . .

Not for everyone
If you came to love Nutcracker from trekking out to see the ballet for Christmas, this is probably not your recording. As many others have remarked, ballet requires a certain tempo; this one is too fast. To me it sounds as if the entire...

A Great Recording
I bought this CD when my older child participated on her first Nutcracker production. It was a great way to help her familiarize with the music, and it was fun for the grown-ups to listen to, too. Now I have two kids in the Nutcracker...

OK if you like Nutcracker on speed
This is a high quality recording but entirely too fast on most of the songs. Chinese in contrast is done slowly. What were they thinking?

Nutcracker Mania
This must be one of the most popular full-length ballets around. No one can ever get tired of this classic by Tchaikovsky. This CD does justice to the master composer.
