Very amazing! I have never heard anything like this orchestra's performance. Very accurate and the CD clarity is out of this world. I love this CD and will enjoy it at Christmas. I hope you will too!

What more can I say? This CD is 63 minutes of beautiful music that anyone would love. The orchestra did a wonderful job, and the quality is excellent. This is a great CD for the holidays and definitely great to dance to.

I recommend this CD to everyone.

The transparency of the recording demonstrates that they had nothing to hide and a lot of articulate beauty to be revealed.

this recording of the nutcracker is by far the clearest i've ever come across. i can hear every instrument clearly and the tempo is perfect. it was recorded very well with lots of bass unlike some others. unfortunately this recording only has highlights but is mostly intact. although it is not complete i strongly recommend this recording to any lover of this ballet

This LaserDisc release of Highlights from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker is a low-priced recording, if you can find it. It is enjoyable if all you want is a performance of Nutcracker for you Christmas Music library. As it is an abridged version (more than just the op 71a suite but less than the entire ballet score) and is adequately performed. It starts with the march of the children, and contains a number of good highlights from the full ballet. Recommend it? As I stated before, yes if all you want is highlights for your Christmas music library, but not recommended if you want the complete ballet.

The wonderful tale of the Nutcracker is enhanced with the accompanying CD. Naturally, this one is a keeper for the library and a favorite of the grandchildren when they come to visit grandma. What a memory maker in sharing some of Tchaikovsky's endearing music.

If you want the Nutcracker, this is definitely the version to have!! You will not be disappointed. This is the best version I've ever heard of the Nutcracker. There may be some childhood nostalgic bias here but that aside, when I reunited with this album, I was blown away. I was so happy I had found it again. This is the ULTIMATE version of the Nutcracker.

I had this CD but lost it, so I needed a replacement.
It is a good selection of the music from "The Nutcracker".
The only problem that I have is with the divertissement section where all the songs run together instead of being listed singly.
