It's sexy sexy, wish I had a copy of it. Discuss.

Classical music is one of my fortes.....that being said, I cant stand his stuff...Too much fluff..

I love classical music, but The Nutcracker's become too much of a cliché for me.

i dont really know how "sexy" this song is....its not bad. makes me wanna play tetris (this song was in tetris right? im not crazy?)

It's a great piece, but as someone already said, there's a lot of fluff. Meh.

It's completely rad, I got to play it when I was in 8th grade band.

i love the nutcracker suite.

every christmas when i was little, i'd watch the nutcracker ballet on tv and i'd dance along with the ballarinas. that was when i was convinced i'd grow up to be a dancer.

i also love playing it. i've often played it in band, and one year, we did a percussion ensamble version of "dance of the sugar plum fairies."

makes me feel christmasy, more than anything else.

easily one of my favorite christmas memories. my sister danced in the nutcracker every year. i heard some of the suite yesterday and realized how much i grew up liking it.

I have heard it a bit too much, but familiarity isn't always a bad thing, especially around Christmas. In addition to listening to it, I also loved playing it every year (tempted to actually leave the computer and play it now, as a matter of fact!), and I have a lot of fond memories connected with it.

It's neither my favorite Christmas music nor my favorite classical music, but it's up there somewhere.


[...and I wonder just how many former band/orchestra nerds are on the board. ]

I never played in the band or orchestra, but the nerds are those who dont appreciate classical music.

... nerds usually don't even know music exist... Anyway as far as tchaikosvky I prefer 1812 overture.. It is an awesome piece!

man, i need some of the stuff you smoked

I quite agree and didn't mean to imply otherwise. That's just usually what they called us.
