Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker: Pas de deux - Simon Rattle, Berliner Philharmoniker

Day 20 🎄 Introduced by sparkling harp and lavish strings, the Sugar Plum Fairy invites the prince to dance with her in this special moment of the ballet, the Pas de deux.
The Nutcracker by Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic (Berliner Philharmoniker) remains one of the most iconic recordings of Tchaikovsky’s beloved "fairy ballet". Long after its premiere on December 18, 1892, the Romantic-Era masterpiece has become a staple of the Christmas season in both its original ballet and orchestral forms. Listen to the full album here: wce.lnk.to/ntc
Many of its numbers have become world-famous themes, especially prominent in classical music performances and pop culture around the holidays: from the extraordinary opening Miniature Overture to the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Waltz of the Flowers, Dance of the Reed Flutes, March from Act I, and Trepak (Russian Dance). Conductor Sir Simon Rattle calls The Nutcracker “one of the great miracles in music.”

Supposedly this song was a response to some sort of bet about Tchaikovsky being able to write a piece around a straight ordered scale, in this case a descending major scale. It is no less lovely for being based on a concept. Tchaikovsky is a master composer, and so emotionally poignant with the nutcracker.

[@ildaroquete6356]

Sir, you know so well to "speak" about Passion...

[@31Alden]

I could do without the animation which greatly detracts from this most beautiful and evocative piece of music.

I could easily do without the animation which greatly detracts from this most beautiful and evocative piece of music.

Beautiful music, but the accompanying animation is atrocious and boring!
