Am I a freak for loving "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies"? |
|
It is my favorite part of the entire Nutcracker soundtrack. I could listen to it all year 'round.
Of course Tchaikovsky is my favorite composer.

13. The Nutcracker not only sounds painful, but it's part of The War on Christmas |

7. No- I love the 'Arabian Dance' |
|
from the Nutcracker.
I just love it-
What's not to like about it?
I think darn near everyone likes it.
Am I wrong?
( if so, I will promptly admit it- :rofl:)
( and no, I'm not having a conversation with myself.;-) )

10. I took my daughter to see a production of Nutcracker by a new dance company here in the OC |
|
We went yesterday with her Brownie troop. My daughter was transfixed. She is totally hooked. Some of the other girls were very very bored.

Both Karl and I saw the Nutcracker at an early age and are hooked on it.
I'm so glad she liked it. ;-)
I can't believe it, Brownies bored with the Nutcracker?
What is the world coming too?
:D :hi:

12. No, I adore the entire soundtrack, year round... |
|
And Tchaikovsky is also my favorite, along with Mozart, Chopin, Stravinsky, and Orff. Oh, and Bizet, and Wagner. :P

Forgot about this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDUTTRGOJdEAnother one starts at 4:50 in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZfCvQRe87YI'll have to dig for the most appropriate bit, since it's an animation and thus not catalogued. x( Found it — at 4:11 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VTyhHzIzYA

19. I love the entire Suite. |
|
It was the performance piece of my first dance recital as a very young girl. I remember seeing Gelsey Kirkland doing the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy so many years ago, and I've never forgotten it. Her pointe-work was inspired.

21. I just bought the opening theme to Swan Lake on iTunes |
|
That piece was a standard for theme music in a few old movies like Dracula and Siegfried.

25. Here's some rather special 'Tchaikovsky' |
|
"Nut Rocker," recorded in 1962 by B. Bumble and the Stingers. Enjoy. http://www.sendspace.com/file/98rf6d

26. this music is decadent and unholy |
|
it isn't very godly and will certainly lead to sin and iniquity.

28. The orchestration is brilliant |

Edited on Sun Dec-09-07 09:53 PM by ironflange
Thaik was one of the best in that department. You won't hear many other duets for bass clarinet and celesta.
