This DVD features the Wiener Staarsballett dancing Rudolf Nureyev's final, 1985 Paris version of The Nutcracker, featuring two magnificent young soloist and the splendid Vienna corps de ballet. The critic Clive Barnes set the tone by remarking: 'No version of The Nutcracker that we have ever seen has been more potently dramatic; few have displayed so sharp an imprint of personal style.'
