Erich Kunzel - Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Favorite Selections

"Considering the sonic superiority, the at-least roughly equal playing, and the vastly more complete Nutcracker selection, I'd call the Telarc a clear choice for audiophiles looking for a Nutcracker to tie up and put under some lucky person's Christmas tree." – Audiophile Voice

"These Nutcracker selections are mostly in the invigorating category…the big scenes come off well, with plenty of pizzazz." – Sensible Sound

Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra record selections from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker for the Grammy Award-winning Telarc label. This family favorite is guaranteed to appeal to all ages. The recording includes all the picturesque favorites from the popular Nutcracker ballet, including "Clara and the Prince," the Spanish, Arabian, Russian and Chinese dances, "Waltz of the Flowers," "Dance of the Prince and the Sugar Plum Fairy" and the lilting Pas de deux from Acts I and II.
