Yeah Cam, it's a shame to settle for just the Nutcracker "Suite" or even more extended excerpts when the complete ballet has such glorious music. My favorite is the vigorous recording by Gergiev . As usual, if you decide to order there, add two or three more discs if you want to get to the $25 for free shipping.

Incidentally, I just finished enjoying watching my DVD of the classic performance with Baryshnikov and Gelsey Kirkland which appeared on TV around Christmas time for so many years.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
