A Timeless Holiday Classic, Masterful Recording, December 17, 2002 Reviewer: Rachel Garret (Beverly Hills) Antal Dorati was the Toscanini for ballet music as well as Tchaikovsky's music. In the 60's and 70's, he conducted all over Europe and recorded LP's for distribution in America. This Nutcracker was orginally an LP, the Nutcracker in its entirety with the addition of Tchaikovsky's Serenade For Strings. There are many fine interpretations of the beloved Christmas classic, one of which Charles Mackerras' version strikes us as the best. But Dorati has precision and perfectionist zeal that makes the score to the ballet sound more true to the Russian spirit that Tchaikovsky blended with European elegance and symphonic treatment. Sentimentality was always Tchaikovsky's strong points, endowed with musical genius and tonal color and lavished attention to every individual instrument. The original liner notes for the LP are to be found here, documenting the life of Tchaikovsky and the background for his creating the ballet based on E.T.A. Hoffman's dark fairy tale, The Nutcracker. It is the tale of Clara, how one evening at a family Christmas party she was given a Nutcracker as a toy, how it magically comes to life and defeats the Mouse King and his minions. Clara is whisked away into the magical dream world of Act 2. Through divertissements, dance sequences with no plot to further the story, she encounters Spanish dancers, an Arab dancer, Chinese dancers, Russian Trepak dancers and an incredibly sweeping, romantic Waltz of Flowers. There is solo for the Nutcracker who has become a Prince by Act 2 and a pas de deux between him and Clara. The Pas De Deux is without question, the most romantic, intense and symphonic number in the whole ballet, evoking a climatic union of beauty and that dark fatalism that seems to permeate a lot of Tchaikovsky's music. For the Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky used celeste, a variation of the piano instrument, in the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and was very proud that the other Russian composers, Mussorgsky and Borodin had not beat him to it. This is the best recording avaible and it is a bonus that it comes with a well orchestrated Serenade For Strings, a melodic, well structured piece of string music that Tchaikovsky wrote as a tribute to the Countess Von Meck who inspired his music and sponsored him financially. It is light, it is dark and it is rich in string symphonic style. Tchaikovsky's music is at best the most romantic and inspiring of his time. Kudos for the producers of this fine recording. For years, I have been a collector of ballet music and have taught dance as well. Tchaikovsky was a brilliant man, a tortured man, whose sexuality was forbidden by Russian law and who out of the depths of his pain, forged the most beautiful and most seriously romantic music of the nineteenth century, finding himself the equal to Beethoven.

The Greatest Orchestration Of The Nutcracker, December 31, 2001 Reviewer: A music fan Under Dorati's baton, Tchaikovsky's greatest ballet comes musically to life. Based on Hoffman's fantastic children's stories, all of which are set during Christmas, the Nutcracker has charmed audiences both young and old for a great number of years. It is the story of Clara, her crippled grandfather, her well-to-do parents (who at the start of the ballet have thrown a Christmas ball) and Drosselmeyer, the eccentric toymaker who presents Clara with the Nutcracker, a realistic-looking toy soldier. After the festivities are over and Clara is left alone, she is sorrounded by magic transpirings. The Nutcracker and the rest of the toys come to life and she is soon to discover there is a battle with the vicious Mouse King. The story develops, with further magic, and we are introduced to exotic characters, each of them who perform beautiful dances to the most memorable holiday music. Who has not heard the Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy ? The Trepak Russian Dance ? Another beautiful piece of music is the pas de deux of the sugar plum fairy and the Prince, a dramatic, romantic music that only Tchaikovsky could have composed and that here, only Dorati can conduct to perfection. The music is unforgettable, uplifting and the ballet is a classic. Dorati's is ulitmately the best, but there are other superb recordings, such as the one by Sir Charles' Mackerras. But you will enjoy Dorati's and take home pure gold with this stylish and elegant rendition of the holiday classic that has become a tradition.
