Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky: The full performance
Watch the full performance of Tchaikovsky's piece by the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Rafael Payare.
The story of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King was transformed into a magical ballet in 1892 – and is now a Christmas favourite. The enchanting narrative is full of wonderful characters and follows a young girl called Clara who is given a wooden nutcracker as a present. The two extracts from the suite give us the chance to look at two very different dances, including the elegant Waltz of the Flowers.
