All Music Guide - MusD
More than just a reworking of an orchestral masterpiece, The Narada Nutcracker is a celebration of a progressive, innovative approach to music as it was so creatively used a century ago by a brilliant, pioneering composer. This release is a dazzling collection of sixteen movements performed by eleven of Narada's talented artists, including David Arkenstone, Kostia, Michael Jones, David Lanz, Alasdair Fraser and others. Using their own instruments, arrangements and contemporary perspectives, the artists sought to explore and embellish the timeless character of Tchaikovsky's music.
