Duke Ellington's "The Nutcracker Suite"
The concert for the Christmas season
E.T.A. Hoffmann wrote the fairy tale about a little girl who first argues with her brother on Christmas Eve, then chases away mice and finally falls asleep under the Christmas tree. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky loved the story and decided to compose a ballet score. It became his greatest success in his lifetime.
Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn arranged their own virtuoso adaptation of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" for the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1960. With nine skilfully arranged movements and clever titles such as "Toot Toot Tootie Toot" or "Sugar Rum Cherry", this LP is the quintessence of Ellington's blend of wit and sophistication. "The Nutcracker" may not be pure Christmas music, but it is a particularly fitting soundtrack to a danced story full of Christmas magic.
It's hard to believe how swinging and sexy the Nutcracker Suite can sound.
