Tchaikovsky's immortal Nutcracker ballet brims with memorable melodies, and some of the best are assembled in this famous suite. Henry Kimball Hadley was an American composer and conductor – his gift for depictive orchestration is evident throughout his superb symphonic poem Ocean – calm and tumultuous moods being brilliantly described.
Dvorak uses the orchestra to take us on a journey through a day in the life of a naughty child visited by the evil Noon Witch.
Josef Suk, husband of Dvorak's daughter Otilie, writes about his home city in this personal, atmospheric and ultimately triumphant symphonic poem.
