Tchaikovsky Nutcracker Highlights (4/4); Flowers Waltz/Sugar Plum Fairy Dance; Lanchbery

[GreatMusiciansFan3K]

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in Votkinsk, a small town in present-day Udmurtia, formerly province of Vyatka in the Russian Empire, to a family with a long line of military service. His father, Ilya Petrovich Tchaikovsky, was an engineer of Ukrainian descent who served as a lieutenant colonel in the Department of Mines[4] and manager of the famed Kamsko-Votkinsk Ironworks.[5] His grandfather, Petro Fedorovych Chaika, emigrated from Nikolaevka (near Poltava).

[superduperlper]

approximatly .0035% of people dont like tchaikovsky, according to the ratio of likes to dislikes.

[letsride84]

@superduperlper And that of the 0.0035% said "I thought you asked if I DIDN'T like Tchaikovsky" after they said "no"

[letsride84]

2 people need to get whacked in the face with a baseball bat, curb stomped and then get boiled alive. And then after that, they need to have their right arm ever so slowly get sawed off with a chainsaw, then have it get cut up and then have them eat it. After they eat their right arm, we will take their children, boil THEM alive into human stew, and have these 2 people eat their own children and then drink their tears after they're all collected in the cup that was held underneath their eyes.

[ilovelatinx]

@letsride84

Calm down! As much as I love Tchaikovsky your suggestion for punishment is rather excessive.

[letsride84]

@ilovelatinx Wow, are you serious that you couldn't even tell that I was just kidding?

[CALINA258]

@letsride84 :)) you are funny :))

[CALINA258]

@letsride84 :)) you are funny :))

[BASEMANBEN4]

@letsride84 I think you need to get out more

[LilChesha]

Tchaikovsky should have lived forever.

[dim19f]

I am Zeus, Lord of the Lords, and I listen to this every morning while I enjoy my breakfast...By the way Poseidon what the hell are you doing here? Haven't I sent you to go calm the seas after the tsunami in Japan?

[JEatsbabies]

@dim19f Oh silly me, you are absolutely right. Man, I take one day off and the whole ocean goes haywire.

[Asumiru]

[nutter2butter]

[myhamsterable]

@taniacaruthers94 Its a Ballet. Wanker.

[KatieGoLucky]

I'm 2 years old and I love classical music.

[MrTomchop]

This kind of music makes you forget everything going on just enjoy what you are listening to.

[futurepoznan]

amazing !

[AmericanPatriot22597]

Tchaikovsky is one of the best Classical Musicians in the History of the World.

[xxmoniquequintynexx]

im a person that dont usually listens to classical music,but i cant lie i do love this beautiful tranquil peice of music.

[folkiclouk]

so beautifu.

[folkiclouk]

so beautifu

[08skydancer]

Ah, music to my ears. And I mean that literally.

[blinkme478]

before the ballet, the orchestra stands and the conductor bows. the audience claps. me? i stand up and start screaming and cheering. my mom: "stephanie sit down! this is NOT a rock concert!" >:(

don't lie, you all know you'd do the same ;)

[Smileydpjh]

i luv this! beautiful!!

[millerrm01]

im 13 and im a major classicle music guy,,,,,,Tchaikovsky being 1 of my all time favs!

[HanauPete]

Easily some of the most enjoyable, romantic, brilliant, lovely and spectacular music the world has ever known. Tscaikovsky has made the world much richer because of his brilliance!!

[frmrussiawithluvage]

im adopted from russia:) this makes me proud to come from there<3

[RusBodybuilder]

@frmrussiawithluvage god bless you my friend... god bless you...im sorry on behalf of whole russia for being adopted.

[m0rbiDBG]

dude how can u know how a fairy feels ?

[JazzPianoify]

Beautiful!

[Theaterke]

It makes you feel like a fairytail(:

[tjblues01]

@Theaterke Not really. I don't feel to be in any tail even very fairy :-) But indeed, it is the great piece of music. I've just realized that Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky is the most "American" music created by Russian :-)

[LauraValerieKawaii]

I would so love to see the ballet.... but unfortunately it's in three days here and I don't have money till Christmas, so I can't go :(

But instead I'll just make my own ballet to this... that's something at least x'D

Love his music!

[cindybambini]

Beautiful!

[AbbiDreamsBig]

The Sugar Plum Fairy Dance makes me want to cry! :') It's beautiful :)

[bouse888]

cellos at 4:08 ;) ... WOW

[RKKandBFD]

I'm going to see the Nutcracker this month and I am so excited after listening to all of his pieces. They are amazing!

[MsStoner94]

@RKKandBFD Lucky! :)

[efyvalerdi]

the best of tchaikovsky

[MrMoleskins]

when it kicks in on 1:15 this is the kind of music I would listen to if I won the lottery

[nakedmambo]

@MrMoleskins Why wait till then? You may never hear it.

[micasaessucasa]

[nibargerswife51482]

[vicisti]

two people should die

[JunkMoonsnBoxes]

@vicisti what? lmfao

[08skydancer]

Anyone who likes Tchaikovsky has excellent taste.

[ElFlakoRompanTodo]

@08skydancer who could possibly not like him?

[ForeverFigureSkater]

[daddyslastgirl]

THANKYOU TCHAIKOVSKY- My dance thanks you the most!

[jennadollx35]

whoever dislikes it obviously was dancing at the same time and their mouse slipped to the dislike button...this is too brilliant to be disliked!

[ivankoval1]

the two that don't like this music must of missed the tum up button..

[revengejeffrey21]

I'm in love with his music.

[TheNightcloudHATER]

his music makes me stop crying o_o i'm a wuss

[FM897]

I have adored all of the music in The Nutcracker since as long as I can remember. Thank you, Grandma, for taking me to The Nutcracker Ballet at Lincoln Center every New Year's eve when I was a kid and helping me to appreciate real music!! :)

[BlissAmberEllis]

This is soooo pretty. Im 13 and nearly 14 and I play Flute but I listen to a lot of classical music

[xoxspicygurlxox]

@BlissAmberEllis theres no shame in that I'm 16 turning 17 in concert choir and I still to this day go back and listen to classical music

[immapubrec]

YouTube the Great Great Grandfather in Composition of Peter I. Tchaikovsky:

Iosif Andriasov

[TheFairydusters]

So funny how much variety there is in my taste of music :p What I am loving: Tcaikovsky, Justin Bieber, Micheal Jackson, Edvard Grieg, Britney Spears, Eminen, Kurt Nilsen, Lady gaga and a LOT of other artists...

[d3drachulis22]

ALL MY FAVES COMBINED INTO ONE! *BALLET,CHRISTMAS,CLASSICAL MUSIC,TCHAIKOVSKY*

[royalsteven]

This piece, Swan Lake and Serenade For Strings are probably the best classical and melodic pieces ever written. Best pieces in music history even. That's why Tchaikovsky is my favorite composer.

[CaffeinnatedPenguin]

Tchaikovsky actually hated his music when he finished writing it. Too bad its one of the ones that he's most recognized for

[giantmonkeykuwala5]

when i heard this all i could picture was cohan playing this song in bioshock when he goes crazy

[zoloabd]

even god's music isn't like him

[KonataStar00]

This is really beautiful ^-^

[criticiser1]

@KonataStar00

I agree! :D

[Shyreenify]

Kids don't have to be ashamed of listening to this man. I started listening at the age of 10. Now I'm 21 and I still love him.

[erab1996]

@Shyreenify right, i am 14 now and i absolutely love classical composers such as tchaikovsky as well as other genres

[natsun7gem]

Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky (May 7, 1840) - (November 6, 1893)

was a Russian composer of the Romantic era.

[dicthash]

@natsun7gem

really?

[flamingpheonix123]

@natsun7gem I've always loved his music. He is my favorite composer. I fell in love with him more when I realized we had the same birthday :)

[kyrababieee914]

beautiful, pure bliss

[ashleighann2269]

He got murdered for having an affair with the nephew of royalty..

[iRockStar54]

@ashleighann2269 i suppose he was gay

[elginxxxman]

You see, this man was so talented and had such an amazing personal story, if Oprah was around back in the day when he was . . . .

[Scarecrow0713]

I had heard this music so many times! Now I know who it is:D

Lovin' it!

[Cloves08417]

This piece is more than beautiful..

[dimarxn]

7:25 My Favorite BY FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I go to a special place in my soul when I listen this masterpiece !!!

[UndercoverSkinner]

Sander Cohen and his damn splicers!! XD "Fly little moth fly"

[Johny40Se7en]

A really nice complation, the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy is my favourite because it sounds so 'Christmasy' =)

I really like the Russian Dance aswell I heard it when I watched Home Alone 1 & 2 when they're all rushing to the airport haha.

[joeyyBANH]

happy birthday Tchaikovsky!

[ken400100]

Que pieza tan hermosa,que estaba pensando el autor al escribirla

[XxAnimeKat182xX]

I don't care what the other kids say about me I will listen to this man forever

[denisefrombrasil]

Uma das maiores obras-primas da humanidade!

[Avziee]

im 15 and i love his pieces...:D

[bookador]

@Avziee Anybody can listen to his music cuz its genius. Remember Classical music makes you really smart. Justin Beiber makes you fart.

[TheSelenaNoelle]

@Avziee me too! (:

[JennysLaugh]

Beautiful piece.

[pexw]

Love the Tchaikovsky but not in love with the conducting. Too much ppp to fff and back again. Peter knew what he was doing. Excellent orchestra, over-interpreted. Thanks for the post!

[mkotisrael]

great vids, superb quality, thanx!

i only wish you would have divided them in to separate videos...

[TheDarkMasterMalak]

everyone who keeps commenting on what i said, alrite drop it and just shut up.

[mahlerite]

LOL.

Malak, I have nothing to do with the following:

1) people "flipping off" at you

Namely, I haven't written a comment here.

2) deleting your comments

Namely, you are deleting your own comments, as the web page plainly says, "Comment removed by author."

[TheDarkMasterMalak]

i was talkin about everyone else and you deleted my comments. and if you noticed they were sayin crap just about my statements. But nevermind just i dont want people mad at me about saying anything so im just going to delete all of my comments now.

:(

[MikeDupris]

who cares? his music is good and he was a genius thats all that matters.

i mean im sure its true, but who cares? its notl ike the fact that he's gay changes anyone perspective of him, unless your prejudice.

[hedgehogsofdoomz]

I didn't know you were gay. >(

[Arabastai]

Criticizing great people like him by their sexuality is just supid.

[Nonplusser]

Whenever I hear the Sugar Plum Fairy song I can't help but LOL because it makes me think of cartoons that use it when characters are creeping around.

...LOL

[whatjlc]

Genius.

[BCcL01]

Whoo go bass clarinet @ 7:43!

[luifesall]

Muchas gracias, Mahlerite por tu gran aporte. Me he deleitado con esta gran obra de Tchaikovsky.

[BabyGirlGoddess]

Merci beacoup!

[TajdaWhatever]

OMG i love those songs...

[JohannMoritz]

[DianeDV]

[wcjones451]

Well in that case, your English is actually pretty good. Sorry to be a douche. :)

[TheAmericanCanadian]

Tchaikovsky is one of my biggest heros.

[perlancey]

4:09 - 4:22 einfach wunderschön...

[Lalachich01]

my favorite!! 7:10

[NirgendwoProductions]

Love 7:27.

[pinkorpurple432]

So THAT'S why the maid from The Hard Nut was so fierce.

[airachica]

Dance of the sugar plum fairy gives me the creeps... it's soooo creepy and mysterious. i love it !! ^^

[AniRemi]

YES. Christmas is not complete until you've heard at least these two songs.

And I will love this conductor forever for drawing out the last few notes in the Waltz of the Flowers, rather than rushing through them as too many conductors tend to do. It's just not as satisfying and dramatic without that heart stopping "DA da da DA DAAAAAAH...."

Tchaikovsky FTW. ^^ Merry Christmas, and thanks for posting!
