This review is from: Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker (Audio CD)

Classical music has been the most frequently applied genre of music for surround sound recording. This is all good and dandy, but in my experience, I've been disappointed at how many recordings use the rear channels for little more than mimicking large hall reverb.

... Not here! This gem of a Stereo-CD / DTS combo is proof of what surround mixing can do for classical masterpieces. From the Waltz of the Flowers to the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies, you can really hear and feel the difference of being truly immersed in the middle of the orchestra as it plays.

Fortunately, not only is the surround sound great, but the performance is wonderful as well. You will not be disappointed by this disc, and I highly recommend it.
