This was, however, in the French adaptation Histoire d’un casse-noi-sette, which Alexandre Dumas senior had published in 1844.\r\n\r\nThe original by the German author E.T.A. Hoffmann was published at Christmastime in 1816, and was included at the time in the collection Die Serapionsbrüder. A contemporary review stated that the text was hardly a fairy tale, \u003cem\u003e“but the rogue only takes on the mask of the child, in order to make fun of decent people by means of words and gestures in an even more amusing manner”.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\nThis story depicts “a complete world with all its fantastic objects, the way this presents itself to the fearful, innocent and yet greedy soul of a child (of the girl Marie of noble birth) in a delightful dream”: i.e. as a battle of the good (the dolls and toys) against the evil (the mice in the girl’s bedroom) in a fantastic Kingdom of Sweets, to which Marie is transported through mysterious doors by the Nutcracker, her Christmas present.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrchestra of the Bolshoi Theatre Moscow\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlexander Vedernikov, Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738888483140,"sku":"PTC5186091-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738888515908,"sku":"PTC5186091-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738888548676,"sku":"PTC5186091-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738888581444,"sku":"PTC5186091-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738888614212,"sku":"PTC5186091-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738888646980,"sku":"PTC5186091-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738888679748,"sku":"PTC5186091-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738888712516,"sku":"PTC5186091-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738888745284,"sku":"PTC5186091-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308582216004,"sku":"PTC5186091-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334843310404,"sku":"PTC5186091S1417","price":27.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334843343172,"sku":"PTC5186091S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334843375940,"sku":"PTC5186091S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/PTC5186091-1.jpg?v=1790135632","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/ptc5186091-tchaikovsky-the-nutcracker-complete-ballet-double-album","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
