CDMP3 Nutcracker and Mouse King

Ernst Theodor Amate Hoffmann (1776–1822) - German writer, composer and artist of the romantic direction.
I won worldwide glory as the author of narratives, where mysticism is combined with reality. The fiction of the Hoffmann grows from the most ordinary little things, from simple things. In the fairy tale, the audio version of which we offer you, the girl Marie receives a doll from her godfather as a gift for Christmas for cracking nuts. At night, the Nutcracker suddenly comes to life, and real miracles begin to occur around. This fabulous story gained wide fame thanks to the ballet P.I. Tchaikovsky "Nutcracker", the first production of which took place in 1892.
