This is the preliminary release of the almost final mix of my interpretation of the Nutcracker Suite by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The album contains the following tracks:
- I. Ouverture Miniature
- II. Danses caracteristiques:
- a) Marche
- b) Danse de la Fée Dragée – Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
- c) Trepak Danse russe – Russian Dance
- d) Coffee – Danse arabe – Arab Dance
- e) Tea – Danse chinoise – Chinese Dance
- f) Danse des mirlitons – Dance of the Reed Flutes
- III. Valse des fleurs – Waltz of the Flowers
- IV. Pas de deux
This is the complete orchestral work with all instruments and all of their notes represented. I used the score from D. Rahter’s reprint of the original P. Jurgenson 1892 printing. I obtained this score from IMSLP.
I added the Pas de deux because I felt the album was too short. The Pas de deux is traditionally performed in the ballet at the position of a bonus track, so why not!
Any mistakes are my own.
