Summary note
Delve into this marvelous Christmas recording featuring staging from Christopher Hampson who "captures the festive and magical character of ballet" (The Guardian)! The radiant dancers of the Scottish Ballet bring to life a plethora of fascinating characters including the Nutcracker, Zac the Head of the Bandits, two acrobats and the Sugar Plum Fairy atop a score comprising iconic music by composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky, as well as new pieces by composer, Frank Moon and recorded live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra. A young, wandering boy in a deserted village discovers a seemingly abandoned theater with a secret inside: as he enters, the stage fills with light and lively characters as a spectacle full of magic, circus, dance and music comes to life in front of his very eyes...
