Pyotr Tchaikovsky - "The Nutcracker" (Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Jacek Kaspszyk) 

As Spanish citizen, I live in Warsaw for the last 9 years and had the huge pleasure to watch live the orchestra perform The Nutcracker both in ballet and concert itself. And every time I literally break in tears. Your work is simply sensational guys. Extremely thankful for such beautiful peace of art.

The best version of Nutcracker I ever heard !!!!!

This is just as, if not more, beautiful than watching the dancers on the stage! Filharmonia Narodowa, you are all extremely talented, beautiful musicians!! Playing in an orchestra is a challenge. However, each one of you make it look easy. Thank you for the gift of this incredible concert!!! This is something to be enjoyed for years to come. BRAVO!!!!!!

Kocham dziadka do orzechów

wspaniałe wykonanie Dziadka do orzechów

So beautiful to hear the music with the depth of a full orchestra. Thank you guys - all of you (technical support especially!).

Piękne, jestem dumna ze wszystkich artystów! Piękne! ✨

Ordinary adjectives are almost cliches when trying to verbally react to so much compressed beauty. It has the ability transport one to another level of emotion, which, I know we all agree is the hallmark of music of high quality.

I'm so glad I got to see the trumpet player get some action during the Spanish dance and the Celesta player during the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy:Coda (something very hard to find!!). It is actually a rarity for these cameramen!

Magnífica interpretación de esta célebre obra de Tchaikovsky. BRAVO !!!!

Absolutely marvelous: from the USA

The interpretation of the "Grand Pas de Deux" is just lovely. Maybe a tiny bit slow, but it is such a masterpiece of music, and I like it so much.... Bravissimi!!!!!!

I have only just discovered this, yet another performance to treasure from this perfect symbiosis of conductor and orchestra., truly one of the great collaborations in the world of music. Thank you, Warsaw, for this superb performance, a product of happier times.

Piękne wykonanie.!!!

Wspaniały koncert aż zazdroszczę widowni:)

Soy muy exigente...bravooo!!!!!👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely mesmerizing!!

The "Waltz of the Flowers" might be the most popular section of the Nutcracker" but musically it is totally eclipsed by the "Pas de Deux" one of Tchaikovsky's most inspired compositions.

I usually watch full ballets but like today just listening to ballet music and came across this Nutcracker, so beautifully played, so magical... I can picture every movement of the ballet with each part of the music, makes my imagination dance :)

BRAVO, Une de las interpretaciones mas brillante que escuchado y visto. Felicitaciones. Un abrazo desde Chile.

👏🏻👏🏻Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻 What a Tour de force!

Incredible

¡¡maravilloso!!genial interpretacion... muchas gracias .desde chile.

Bravo! I really enjoyed this! All are so talented....particularly my favorites, the flute section!

The harp at 23:09 is my favorite part of the entire concert.

A lovely performance. I'm really enjoying your concerts. It's a particularly fine orchestra, with a very smooth sound and the string section is superb. You have a gorgeous concert hall as well. Thank you for enriching our musical lives with your You Tube Channel.

A superb live performance! This is it! I can hardly hold back my excitement and must share it with the broad audience out there. If you are looking for the sheer beauty and power of Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" ballet music (absent the dancers that could sometimes be distracting), choose this Act II music, and especially this performance by the Warsaw Phil under Maestro Kaspszyk. Not only will you, your entire family, particularly the children, enjoy the well-beloved character dances ("Chocolate": Spanish Dance; "Coffee": Arabian Dance; "Tea": Chinese Dance; "Trepak": Russian Dance; etc.), but also be "wow"'ed by the the gorgeous "Waltz of the Flowers" that seems to be made even more brilliant by the outstanding sonority of the horn section of the Warsaw Phil. Be sure not to miss any note when the "Pas de deux" section opens, with two beautiful ladies of the Warsaw Phil plucking the golden harp duo and the oboe comes in with its slightly plaintive solo (yes, the heroine, Clara, has moments of "melancholy" or "disappointments" and these moments can be beautiful in music). Apparently, the audience appreciated the performance as shown by their rhythmic clapping, which was rewarded by an encore repeat of the Russian Dance at the end of the concert. (I'm writing this comment from Los Angeles, California, a few days before Christmas 2021 and anticipate many happy online returns of this live performance for years to come.) Thank you, members of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the conductor, and all others who contributed to this wonderful achievement, including the sound engineers, lighting, video crew, and even stagehands!

So beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍❄❄❄☃🎄🎄🎄

Cudownie, że został wrzucony ten film z komcertu. Byłem na dwóch, a widząc to nagranie aż łzy pociekły po policzku wspominając te dwa wspaniałe wieczory. Dodam, że 4 dni później w teatrze wielkim już na całym balecie, uznałem, że muzycznie w FN było lepiej! Brawo, brawo, brawo!

Splendid!! Every piece of music is better when there is some kind of emotion in it like happy, sad or angry!!

Incredible performance. Thank you for sharing your art with the world!

Doskonale dobrany repertuar i wykonanie na wysokim poziomie.

I can’t believe only today I learned the little-bells-sound instrument for the dance of the sugar plum fairy is a celesta. Beautiful sound! Beautiful video for showing the instrument!

Kobieta na flecie najlepsza 🔥

22:46 MASTERPIECE

-- Très grande & très belle version de cet immense chef-d’œuvre de Tchaïkovsky. --

Przepiękne!!!

Amazing! Respect from Russia

Fantastica esecuzione!

Excepcional esta versão "The Nutcraker"; precisão brilhante e técnica apurada dos músicos da Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. Jacek Kaspszyk regeu-a com autoridade e segurança.

Such beautiful music and this orquestra is flawless on their notes! 🤩Yet this audicance seems bored and sleepy....I loved it!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The conductor's excitement before "Russian dance" made me smile. (at 15:54)

naprawdę pięknie wam to wyszło pozdrowienia z kwarantanny ;)

Magnífico de principio a fin!! 👏

Большой привет из России,Родины Чайковского!

a playing crisp suppression & a convincing representation.Warsaw Phil.,very very good!

Great performance.

I hope they performed Act 1. I prefer the symphony to the ballet and this orchestra is awesome!

24:15 😍😍😍

Une interprétation particulièrement brillante de ce ballet, mais dommage que l'on n'ait pas le premier acte, cela nous prive de l'Ouverture miniature, de la marche, de la chanson française "Bon voyage Monsieur Dumollet" et de la délicieuse valse des flocons de neige, heureusement trouvables sur un autre site...

36:48

👏👏👏👏

Anyone know if Act 1 is present anywhere? Thanks!

FILCHARMONIA NARODOWA❤👏👍

Ons of.the best orchestra’s in the world to me. But the coughing in the background is so annoying…argh…if you got a cold don’t go to a classical concert!

BBBBBBBRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
