I know Christmas is over and I promise, this will be the last Christmas music post until November, but this piece of work just has to be heard. Pyotr (Peter) Tchaikovsky, who wrote the musical score for The Nutcracker, which along with Swan Lake, changed Ballet forever. The Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker, became one of the most recognizable and beautiful Christmas songs of all time. Orchestras around the world have performed this classic over and over again for years. The number is even  featured in the Radio City Rockettes' Christmas Spectacular, which we send listeners to every year at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville every Christmas season.

The below version of the song might be the best of them all, performed entirely on drinking glasses by the GlassDuo out of Poland. This is worth two and a half minutes of your time and is completely amazing...enjoy.
