1892. Ballet as art. Not just art now, but also nonsense.

A hugely important ballet with some of not only Tchaikovsky?s, but any composer?s most famous pieces e. g. dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Divertissment, Waltz of the Flowers etc. A great piece, with a lot of variation.

One of the undisputed kings of holiday albums. While not ever piece hits equal levels, the best here is Tchaikovsky's wormiest work. "Arrival of Drosselmeyer" has a surprisingly modern sounding melodic motif which serves as a short but hooky as hell ear worm. Similarly, the "Divertissement" pieces in the middle of the second act are truly the highlight, with 10 minutes of easily the hookiest melodies. From the fluttering flutes in "Chinese Dance" to the thumping "Dance of the Reed Pipes" its' all so wildly good. Although it would be a crime to not mention "Waltz of the Flowers" with its blossoming melody and the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" which speaks for itself. Might not be his most complex, but certainly his most recognizable and catchy.

Quite possibly one of the more over-rated albums of Tchaikovsky. However, just as with Brand New's "TDaGaRIM", that doesn't mean it has to be bad. Being a soundtrack for a play, it doesn't have that freedom that Symphonies do; however, in exchange it appeals to a much larger audience and is more accessible for those who aren't Classical Music buffs. Has quite a few great moments and would really recommend for those trying to get into Tchaikovsky... as long as they don't mind long albums. 3.9/5
