Since World War II, Tschaikowsky's Nutcracker Ballet , always a popular concert item has become a Holiday Season favorite. I just cranked up my Edison C-2 Long Playing
Phonograph & listened without record change interruptions to the slightly abridged Edison long-playing diamond disc record (30004) of Casse-Noisette (Nutcracker) Suite performed by Edison's "house" orchestra, the American Symphony Orchestra, no conductor listed on the label but no doubt directed by Cesare Sodero. At this time of year I recommend this record to all collectors of antique phonographs despite its low volume level & the occasional skip or repeat but be sure to fully wind the phonograph before starting since the music lasts almost 20 minutes.
