Essential "Nutcracker"

Patrick Mirza | Davis, CA United States | 01/03/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having seen The San Francisco Ballet's production of "The Nutcracker" two years in a row now, I can tell you wholeheartedly that this recording is a MUST. The orchestra is top-notch and the two-disc set is beautifully recorded and packaged. Do yourself a favor, order the CD and the DVD. Then, later in the year, order tickets to see the production for yourself at the War Memorial Opera House in SF."
