It was commissioned by Ivan Vsyevolozhky, the Director of the Russian Imperial Theatres. Vsyevolozhky had previously commissioned The Sleeping Beauty from Tchaikovsky, and was looking to the composer for another great success. Tchaikovsky's choreographer then had been Marius Petipa, and he was invited to renew their collaboration. For his subject, Petipa chose a short story called The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by the German fantastical writer (and music critic) E.T.A. Hoffmann (this, in turn, was based on a story by the French writer Alexandre Dumas (père). Vsyevolozhky's plan was for the new ballet to be performed as the first part of a double bill with Tchaikovsky's short opera Iolanta (which is why The Nutcracker is shorter than the other two Tchaikovsky ballets). It was in this context that The Nutcracker first saw the light at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on 18th December 1892. The choreography was not well received, but the music was hailed as "astonishingly rich in inspiration" and "beautiful, melodious, original and characterful from beginning to end."Country/Region of Manufacture: DeutschlandRelease Year: 2012Tracks: Disc 11: Ouvertüre2: The Decoration of the Christmas Tree3: March4: Children's Galop and Entry of the Parents5: Dance Scene: Distribution of Presents6: Godfather's Dance7: Guests Depart8: Battle Between Nutcracker and Mouse King9: In the Pine Forest10: Waltz of the SnowflakesDisc 21: Confiturembourg2: Clara and the Prince3: Divertissement: Chocolate4: Divertissement: Coffee5: Divertissement: Tea6: Divertissement: Trepak7: Divertissement: Flutes8: Divertissement: Clowns Dance9: Waltz of the Flowers10: Pas De Deux11: Variation 1: Tarantella12: Variation 2: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy13: Coda14: Finale: Waltz and Apotheosis Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
