Time once again for Tchaikovsky's immortal Nutcracker Suite. You've heard it 27 times this month, and today is probably no different than any of those. But it's a tradition at this point, so You're just going to have to live with it through the end of the month. Today's version is by the absolutely pseudonymous International Festival Orchestra (the copy on the back of the LP pretty much said it's a name for the quality musicians they assemble for all their records). And the album is Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite And Romeo & Juliet Overture (Paris International Music Appreciation Library Volume 13, Mono). The best part about this version is the cool names they've given to some of the tracks. I'm not sure if they're correct or not, but they're interesting. I don't think I'll be seeking out the other volumes in this series though.
