The Nutcracker Suite Op 71a - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky/Pletnev (Daniel Vnukowski, piano)

The Nutcracker Suite Op 71a - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky/Pletnev (Daniel Vnukowski, piano) Hear the Nutcracker Suite by P.I. Tchaikovsky spring to life on the Fazioli F308 (also known as the longest piano on the world market) in the magical hands of concert pianist Daniel Vnukowski. Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev wrote this wonderful solo piano arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s famous work “The Nutcracker Suite“, which brings out many of the colors found in the original orchestral score, from the subtle bells of a celesta in “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy“ to the sweeping lyricism and of soaring strings in “Pas de Deux.“ The Nutcracker Suite (Op. 71a) Timeline: 0:02 March 1:58 Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy 3:48 Tarantella 5:07 Intermezzo 8:51 Trepak (Russian Dance) 10:04 The Tea (Chinese Dance) 11:24 Pas de Deux.
