Antal Dorati was often called the finest ballet conductor of his time. The Nutcracker is generally conceded to be the most masterful, as well as the most popular and familiar, of Tchaikovsky's three great ballet scores. Dorati's inspired interpretation of this complete score has been the standard against which all others have been measured for nearly 40 years. This Mercury Living Presence treasure has been acclaimed as the best ballet recording ever made - in terms of music, sound and performance.
