A Great Performance, and your money's worth too!
The full Nutcracker on one CD! It's about time. And the performance is first rate. Gergiev is one of the finest conductors around, and the Kirov Orchestra is great. The must have Nutcracker

Breakneck Speed
Just bought this expertly-played rendition of The Nutcracker, but oh my, at what pace has Gergiev chosen to lead the orchestra! My wife was with New York City Ballet for over 10 years, and I've seen The Nutcracker literally scores of times both there and at other companies. There is no company alive that could dance this ballet at Gergiev's breakneck speed. So, if you're into the music for its own sake, enjoy this zippy production. But if you're at any way using it to dance, or just imagine or remember dance, stay away lest you end up in traction.
