MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (Complete Ballet)

"Previn's 1972 LSO version emerges very favourably against the new competition. The recording is extremely vivid and the CD transfer a distinct success; woodwind and brass have plenty of colour and sonority and the balance is excellent. The performance is fresh and has a lively spontaneity. It is particularly good in the famous dances of Act 2, which have the orchestra on their toes.... excellent value." (Gramophone)
