Her adventures in the company of an enchanted prince inspired Tchaikovsky to such spellbinding numbers as the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Waltz of the Flowers and a sparkling series of national dances.\r\nIn describing himself in an interview as \"a complete romantic\", André Previn suggested just why his recordings of Tchaikovsky's three great ballet scores, made in the 1970s with the London Symphony Orchestra, have become classics of the catalogue. In their sweep, colour and surging emotion, they exemplify the spirit of late Romanticism, the musical aesthetic at the heart of Previn's repertoire. Over his 11 years as Principal Conductor of the LSO (1968-1979) he and his musicians became something of a media phenomenon, notably with their own series on BBC television, which helped to draw full houses for their concerts in London and on tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nutcracker Op. 71: Miniature Overture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nutcracker Op. 71 Act 1 Scene 1: No. 1 Decoration of the Christmas Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nutcracker Op. 71 Act 1 Scene 1: No. 2 March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nutcracker Op. 71 Act 1 Scene 1: No. 3 Children's Galop and Entry of the Parents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nutcracker Op. 71 Act 1 Scene 1: No. 4 Dancing Scene.
