Uploader's Note: this recording contains more music than the other two available, and the orchestration is, presumably, much closer to what Minkus had in mind. Like them, it used the 3-act structure, and like the second, it contained a lot of bonus material with different tempi and orchestrations. For this occassion, I took the liberty to reassemble the tracks into the original 4-act structure and replaced the recording's "standard" choices with some of the alternatives as I saw fit.

I had also uploaded Ernest Ansermet's Nutcracker for Christmas. If you find a way around Youtube's blocking, the recording is located here:    • The Nutcracker; Ernest Ansermet & Orc...  
A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!
