圣彼得堡马林斯基剧院的这部俄罗斯版《胡桃夹子》中，柴可夫斯基的辉煌乐章、瓦伊诺宁的色彩斑斓且传统的制作，加之西蒙·维尔萨拉泽的惊艳设计，共同打造了一场如以往一样魔幻且令人难忘的圣诞盛宴。其中还包括制作录音的精彩花絮。剧本由马里乌斯·彼季帕根据E.T.A.霍夫曼的故事改编。

描写19世纪四十年代俄罗斯伟大的杰出的思想家和文学批评家别林斯基一生追求真理，反对沙皇专制和农奴制度向敌斗争的伟大事迹。 十九世纪四十年代，是俄国农奴制度接替时期。当时反农奴主、反地主的自发性的家民暴动蔓延全国，沙皇尼古拉一世为了保持摇摇欲坠的王朝不被推翻，而对革命运动进行残暴的镇压。 沙皇的镇压并没有摧毁了俄国革命运动。相反地在俄国知识界里却涌现了大批的优秀的革命民主主义者参加并领导了反农奴制的解放运动。别林斯基就是其中杰出的领导者之一。 别林斯基通过他的批评文学、政论文学体无完肤的揭发了沙皇专制政体，农奴制度的腐朽，暴露了人民大众生活贫困的社会根源，并号召人民为解放事业斗争。 他在反对为艺术而艺术的反动文学和浪漫派的斗争中确立了文学应该是人民生活的再现，揭发反动统治的罪恶，反映人民的真实生活的现实主义文学的理论基础。促进了文学成为社会改革的战斗武器。 他的一生孜孜不倦地在追求真理，全心全意献身革命事业，他的全部思想反映了农民仇恨沙皇专制制度和农奴制度的感情，代表了他们的愿望和要求。并为呻吟在农奴制度下的人民大众寻找出一条正确的道路，那就是用暴力来推翻沙皇的专制政体，谋求社会的改革，建立一个公平合理的社会制度。在他那封有名的致果戈里的一封信里闯述了他的全部思想。这封信里为了当时革命民主运动的统治纲领。

马林斯基芭蕾舞团：天鹅湖。第一幕：王子齐格弗里德（Зигфрид）在生日前夕庆祝。而其母亲告诉他，已成年的齐格弗里德要在第二天选一位新娘。而到了晚上，王子去天鹅湖捕猎天鹅。第二幕：齐格弗里德遇上被罗特巴特（Ротбарт）施咒的公主奥杰塔（Одета）。她白天是天鹅，晚上却是少女身。只有当某位男子真诚地爱上她时，她才能得救。齐格弗里德邀请她第二天晚上来参加舞会，并会向母亲表示，愿意娶奥杰塔为妻。第三幕：各国的公主和使节都来出席齐格弗里德的生日宴会。罗特巴特也带着他的女儿奥吉莉亚（Одилия）来了。奥吉莉亚显示的是奥杰塔的形象，只是身着黑装。齐格弗里德被迷惑并与她缔结了婚约。当齐格弗里德意识到这一切的时候，大为震惊，并立即赶往天鹅湖。第四幕：王子请求奥杰塔的宽恕，而奥杰塔也原谅了他。这时罗特巴特用魔法卷起大浪，要淹死齐格弗里德。奥杰塔为了救他纵身跃入湖内。根据导演编排的不同，结尾也不一样：或者是双双逝去形成悲剧式的结尾，或者是天鹅恢复人形，王子救起公主，爱情终于战胜了邪恶。

Valery Gergiev is widely recognised as the greatest modern interpreter of Tchaikovsky’s music and the Mariinsky holds a peerless reputation in the repertoire. Together they deliver definitive interpretations of Tchaikovsky’s most popular symphonies. These acclaimed performances were filmed at Salle Pleyel in Paris during January 2010, directed by Andy Sommer. The themes of fate and death pervade Tchaikovsky’s final symphonies. The composition of the Fourth Symphony coincided with the breakdown of Tchaikovsky’s marriage and a failed suicide attempt, yet he considered it to be his greatest. In contrast he believed his Fifth to be flawed and uninviting, yet today this heartfelt work is widely regarded as one of his finest. The subject of fate is further instilled in the Sixth Symphony, premiered shortly before Tchaikovsky’s death. It was posthumously entitled ‘Pathétique’ by his brother and is a deeply melancholic work, full of dynamic extremes and an inherent sense of finality.

Nobody is better suited to undertake such a challenge than Valery Gergiev and his Mariinsky Orchestra. Over a period of a year all 15 Symphonies and 6 Concertos have been recorded at Salle Pleyel in Paris. What an adventure for the artists and the big production team! Never before in the history of television has something like this been undertaken including the very first “Ring” for television at Bayreuth. • Dmitri Shostakovich is arguably one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. To understand his music one needs to see it in the context of his life, his social environment, the political situation, the unbelievable brutality with which the Communist Party enforced its ideological credo and the subtle ways with which Shostakovich succeeded in combining his innermost thoughts with the demands of Socialist Realism. He was a man of many faces. And beyond any doubt Dmitri Shostakovich was a musical genius.
