Great Performance by the russians, superior sound and stellar recording!

I do agree that no one does Tchaikovsky like Russians. This is my favorite of all of those available on iTunes.

The nutcracker is a great piece to listen to around the holiday season, regardless of one's religion. This version is my favorite, even over Gergiev's - and it costs less than all the others. $6 is the right price. Plus it's the complete ballet; 1 hour and 24 minutes of some of the best of Tchaikovsky. I think its worth it. Yeah, and it's also Russian and has the most sensational sound. Thank you, Denon! Enjoy!

Excellent! Great value and sound quality is superior to other versions I've owned. Love it!!

FINALLY! I have finally found THE best Nutcracker music on itunes. And for so little! It has EVERYTHING! I was in the production for 4 years before I had to move to a new state. I used to see it every year at christmas time and I finaly saw it again this year. Music is the same from when I was young but the version wasn't. That doesn't matter here, this is about the music. This is the best one to buy. I am a dancer and I love it. Dancers and Instructors will love it to death!

Fedoseyev and the Mosovites really 'own' this repertoire - inspired and deft interpretations with outstanding recording quality to boot. Best value I could find on iTunes for a complete, high quality 'Nutcracker'.

Truly a great recording here from the Moscow RTV Symphony Orchestra. Worth buying the whole thing.

This is the best version of the nutcracker on itunes. and it does'nt cost much. dancers and choreogrephors should get this c.d.
