Brown, David. Tchaikovsky: The Final Years, 1885-1893. London, 1991; corrected edition 1992: p. 386 Twas the Night Before Christmas: Edited by Santa Claus for the Benefit of Children of the 21st Century" (2012) being Pamela McColl "smoke-free" edit of Clement Clarke Moore's poem A modern take (which usually fails to enchant me), but like I said in my other review, I found myself enjoying a fresh look and it really did fit nicely with the tale itself and brought this adventure to life in a wonderfully atmospheric way. Por ser uma história infantil, esperei uma linguagem mais simples, com frases mais curtas e bobas, e, para minha surpresa, me deparei com um texto belíssimo, com rico vocabulário, frases bem elaboradas e lugares muito bem descritos. Surpreendeu-me também a parte sombria da história, meio tenebrosa, daquelas que deixam os pequeninos um pouco assustados, mas que, sem dúvidas, estimula a bravura. Until I read this picture book, I was unaware of Ellington's jazzy musical adaptation of Tchaikovsky score. If you are as ignorant as I was, prepare for a treat. While the text of this book takes you through the creative process of Ellington and his collaborators, the real fun lies in listening to the accompanying CD. All ages for the music, ages 4 and up for the book.

Al ser un libro escrito para niños, debo advertir que hay muchas cosas que no tienen sentido o explicación lógica, lo que hay que hacer es dejarse llevar por la prosa de Dumas y recordar que dicha explicación no se necesita al entender el contexto en el que se desarrolla la historia. Asimismo, el hecho de que esté ambientado en Navidad lo hace ser un relato acogedor, ideal para cualquier época del año pero sobre todo para la navideña, propiamente. Maria Tallchief".

Tchaikovsky hoped that the children would play the instruments on the stage, but they had difficulty keeping together with the orchestra. Because of the difficulty the children had, Tchaikovsky made the decision that they could play freely. He did not ask them to keep with the written music. After the first night, Tchaikovsky sent his thanks and baskets of sweets to the children of the Imperial Ballet School.

I'm not a fan of Where the Wild Things Are, and I wasn't too impressed with Sendak's weird Labyrinth-like tale, Outside Over There (because there was no Jareth in it, obviously). But I wanted to read this version because Auntie J said it was the best version ever.

One critic complained that the ballet was in bad taste because characters in Act 2 looked like food from a pastry shop. Another complained that Ivanov's "Waltz of the Snowflakes" was taken from ballets by Petipa. [15] Tchaikovsky however thought that the staging was very beautiful, so much so that his eyes grew tired looking at it. [16]

Ormandy, Reiner and Fiedler never recorded a complete version of the ballet; however, Kunzel's album of excerpts runs 73 minutes, containing more than two-thirds of the music. Conductor Neeme Järvi has recorded act 2 of the ballet complete, along with excerpts from Swan Lake. The music is played by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. [76] In honor of the young heroine, a celebration of sweets from around the world is produced: chocolate from Spain, coffee from Arabia, [28] [29] tea from China, [30] and candy canes from Russia [31] all dance for their amusement; Marzipan shepherdesses perform on their flutes; [32] Mother Ginger has her children, the Polichinelles, emerge from under her enormous hoop skirt to dance; a string of beautiful flowers perform a waltz. [33] [34] To conclude the night, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier perform a dance. [35] [36]
