I am not very knowledgeble in classical music but I know he has the reputation of being one if not the best melodist and I think this is the best example: of the eight parts listed in the description, 5 of them are very recognasiable and iconic to me. If I had to choose one word to describe he music I would choose fantasy because it's the first music I listened to that gives me escapism the same way books and tv shows do. His music transport me to a fantasy. Even though in my family we never had very happy christmas, the Nutcracker Suite reminds me of memories i never had of christmas. Also at first I didn't like this part: 18:41 but know it's my favorite part it immerses me in a different world (I especially like it in another recording)

You should listen to his symphonies. Specially number 6. It's the saddest piece of music ever written, hard to believe it comes from the same guy who composed these.

[@fakename3440]

Honestly, Tchaikovsky was the reason I genuinely got into classical music. Without him, I wouldn't have really invest that much into classical music and ballet.

[@daithipj]

A truly astounding piece of music. Tchaikovsky achieves in 22 minutes what other composers didn’t approach in a lifetime. Thanks!

Mis palabras no pueden expresar la belleza que destila esta genial composición. Un grande Tchaikovsky, y gracias por subirla a KZbin para que todos puedan acceder a semejante obra musical.

[@nobodyaskedbut]

Tchaikovsky is the greatest of them all because of his astounding versatility. This magnificent ballet and his 2 other brilliant ballets, opera, symphonies, concertos, choral, chamber, stand alone masterworks like Capriccio Italien and one of the first great modern song writers (None But the Lonely Heart).

[@agent-sz2qj]

Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi and Chopin best musicians ever, period.

Wanted to check out 2 minutes but ended up listening to the whole thing. This piece can give shivers down your spine.

[@TheKodiakKub]

The whole ballet is not performed here. Actually, some of the absolute best has been omitted - like the end of Act I “Snow”, and the Grand Pas de Deux in Act II is incredibly breathtaking and will give you goosebumps. Please do listen to the whole ballet in it’s entirety and learn the story behind it to help the music make sense.

That Arabian Dance - what a haunting piece of music.

Probably one of my all time favorite pieces of classical music. When I recently played through Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and entered the Fantasia world and this music started playing. I literally nearly cried from it's beauty. Such a beautiful piece of music.

I never heard classical music in my life.listen for 5 minutes and hear every jingle for the last 50 years.Brova Tchaikovsky!

[@manuela1986]

I just love the part from 16:00 and that from 16:40... I still remember as a child when we had this class in school called 'music' and we learned about history and evolving of music, listening to a lot of it also, this and the opening to 'piano concerto no 1' were my absolute favorites. I still love classical music now 15 years later.

[@carissakasper8140]

I had music class too in elementary school, but it was teaching us how to sing and how to read music. I wish I learned more about history of music and about musical instrument in that class.

The Nutcracker is my favourite ballet and Christmas story of all time. It's stunning. The ballet just blew me away

[@HeartoftheDragonColo]

This work always brings me back to my grandmother's house at Christmas.

[@TheKodiakKub]

“Snow” at the end of Act 1 and the “Grand Pas de Deux” of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her come to life Cavalier Nutcracker are the absolute best parts. Brings back many fond memories of being in many Nutcracker performances that still gives me heart palpitations and goose bumps.

[@Haggysack2k8]

This actually is quite the calming music. Enjoying this on a saturday morning after a very stressful Friday is really helping dealing with stress. Thanks for uploading!

[@Metasisic]

This opening piece and the moors dance are my absolute favorite parts of the nutcracker. I remember many times seeing this work with my family, an American tradition. The Nutcracker is obviously a supreme example of a single composition being with many simply though brilliant melodic ideas.

[@mimsndave]

I just listen to this while studying -since I'm playing this in orchestra- and listening to it improves my playing.

[@Rattle301982]

I remember playing this in elementary school in 1988 in 1st grade on piano, they wanted me to leave school and play with the Philharmonic groups in NYC, L.A. and Chicago playing this and the entire Nutcracker every year.

[@acblook]

Every melody is so incredibly iconic and then Arabian Dance is like the child who is moderately successful but seen as a disappointment cause they're constantly compared to their siblings

[@magaara8310]

I kinda feel bad about the Arabian Dance tho, I personally love it. It sucks that it is considerably less known than the other melodies on the suite :(

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

It's one thing to master a single instrument and then experiment with its many sounds; if your are VERY good you might create one enduring tune. This man pulled all of these instruments together to create a timeless classic, then did that over and over again, all without recording equipment to play it back or a mixing board to make quick adjustments. That's an absolute genius.
