Title: The definitive Nutcracker for me...
Review: I was fortunate enough to see Baryshnikov with the American Ballet Theater at the Kennedy Center about the time of this recording, which captures the magic of his live performance. Kirkland demonstrates a childlike quality which radiates in this performance of Clara. Flawless performances from both stars and supporting cast. Great performance by the orchestra. I especially enjoyed the Waltz of the Flowers, the Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy, the Dance of the Mirlitons. I too hope this will be re-released, I would love to replace my recording from PBS of this ABT classic!
