 The nutcrackerFeb 05, 2010
Having seen this particular ballet on PBS I think, I began searching for it. It took no time to find it through Amazon. I was thrilled. The price was right and it arrived just in time for Christmas. It is one of the very best renditions of this ballet.

 No Child DancersNov 21, 2009
This is a perfectly fine performance of the Nutcracker but the choreography is all adult performers. If you are looking for a performance with children in some of the roles (Clara, party scene, Mother Buffoon, etc.) this is not the version you want. The Clara is excellent, however.

My Favorite NutcrackerJan 27, 2009
This is a wonderful production of the Nutcracker. Arkhipova is a lovely, graceful and delicate Masha. Irek Mukhamedov is an absolutely stunning Nutcracker. My favorite part is the soldier v. mice fight which is an absolute knockout. Irek and the Mouse King are exciting and mesmerizing. I just love the cheoreography during this fight and Irek and the Mouse King's form and power are wonderful. Irek is also fabulous in his solos near the end of the ballet (especially his split jumps he does one after another in a huge circle on the stage). I also especially love the Arabian dance and the Russian dance. The Arabian dancers are exotic and intriguing, while the Russian dancers are exciting and joyous. Drosylmeyer is also fabulous!! All around, it is great fun to watch!

Agree, great dancing, choreography, orchestraDec 22, 2008
This version has it all, the best I have seen live or taped. More content than Barishnikov. Two lead dancers are expressive to the highest degree and technically perfect (although I'm not a dancer). I can tell you this: they make it look easy. Drosselmeyer is better than any I've seen. Way, way, way better than the McCauley Culkin version. That version is not good, because the lead dancers have a very low "degree of difficulty" (think olympics). The only part I could do without is the coming and goings of the party-goers. Just skip that part. Enjoy!
