There are only so many ways you can say it, but it's worth repeating: the combination of Valery Gergiev and the Kirov Orchestra is one of the all-time best when it comes to performing Russian music for the stage. The recording of the complete Nutcracker is just one example of their particular skills. There is a clarity and precision to the orchestra's playing that gives Tchaikovsky's music sparkle, while Gergiev breathes life into the dances and few moments of drama that are in the story. Melodies and countermelodies seamlessly pass from one instrument to another, and every nuance of dynamics and timing. And yet that attention to detail does not detract from the enchantment of the presentation. It's a refreshing reading of the complete ballet that stands in contrast to the often run-of-the-mill and clichéd performances of the Nutcracker Suite., Rovi

The rarity here is the Moscow Cantata, completed in 1883 and premiered at the coronation of Czar Alexander III . The extremely short deadline required Tchaikovsky to interrupt work on his opera Mazeppa, which may explain why much of the music is more operatic than cantata-like. Mezzo Liubov Sokolova sings beautifully in her two numbers (the second of which bears thematic similarity to the Intermezzo from Tchaikovsky’s Orchestral Suite No. 1), while baritone Alexey Markov provides solid, rich tone for his one solo. The choral writing is in the standard 19th-century Russian style. The composer’s dramatic sense and melodic ingenuity make for an engaging 25 minutes.
Celebrating the Czar doesn’t end with the cantata: the 1812 Overture and Marche Slave (both of which receive suitably dramatic renditions), the worthy but rarely heard Danish Festival Overture, and the brief, by-the-book Festival Coronation March all feature the Russian anthem “God Save the Tsar”. The Mariinsky Orchestra catches the music’s nationalistic spirit under Valery Gergiev’s direction, but the shallow-sounding recording somewhat dims the fire (the chorus and orchestra portions bring to mind the old Melodiya days). You won’t buy this for the 1812–there are many better-recorded renditions available–but the program’s novelty will make this CD very attractive to Tchaikovsky collectors.
