Simon Rattle & Berliner Philharmoniker – Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker)

Originally this piece was written for the Glass Harmonica but it's delicate & can break easily so most Orchestras today use a Celesta (as this one does) as a Substitute.

Conductors are useless.

this dude really likes his job

La mejor orquesta del mundo

Tetris, anyone? 😊

So in love with this music, wish I could play it on the piano

They’re like his little soldiers

It’s dragging

Deveriam colocar o nome dos músicos nos créditos. Cada integrante da orquestra merece ser reconhecido.

Forgive my ignorance, but is that a piano?

Predivno je, bas za Bozic!!❤❤

Пётр Ильич Чайковский - это неотъемлемая часть Великой мировой Культуры. Это нельзя не признать. Так-же, как и нельзя отменить. Выражаю своё Восхищение и Признательность тем настоящим Людям в Европе, кто несмотря на весь окружающий их идиотизм не сдаётся тьме и служит Здравому Смыслу, Музыке и Свету! Почёт и Уважение таким Людям из Москвы. С наступающим Новым Годом и Рождеством!!! P.S.: перевод ниже будет через онлайн-переводчик, поэтому заранее извиняюсь за возможные неточности:).

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is an integral part of the Great World Culture. It is impossible not to admit it. Just like it can't be canceled. I express my Admiration and Gratitude to those real People in Europe who, despite all the idiocy surrounding them, do not give up to darkness and serve Common Sense, Music and Light! Honor and Respect to such People from Moscow. Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!!! P.S.: the translation below will be via an online translator, so I apologize in advance for possible inaccuracies:).

Brilliant ! 💎

Cara... posso estar numa praia da Bahia, no Metrô de SP, num sítio no sul de Minas.. quando eu ouço essa música sou transportado imediatamente pra Moscou, São Petersburgo ou sei lá onde!!

When I was a little girl, I used to sing in a choir. For four years, we were the choir voices of the Nutcracker ballet that played in town (if I’m not mistaken, it was the Moscow Ballet) every night they had a show, for the Waltz of the Snowflakes but as needed as well. I have the fondest memories of that time, where backstage I watched the ballet, and also from the seats when we were done singing. This ballet is everything, I can’t hold my tears when I listen to it. Tchaikovsky had such a talent to capture emotions.

É isso que aplaca a insignificância de nossa existência. Excepcional!

This will be a little night time treat! Thank you❤

I have fallen in love with this music. Melody endures for ever and Tchaikovsky, too will never die.

I think that Berliner Philharmoniker perform is effective, forceful and original in all spheres of musical creativity - whether instrumental, piano and symponic music, as well as opera and ballet.

I have been so impressed by Sir Simon Rattle as an artist and person that I feel that he has spiritually taught me a lot.

I think he is the most delightful person of all men and artists I have ever known.
