Pirlipat is haunting me.

nirix5Okay, today's rant is CD producer people being jerks when it comes to putting a piece of music on a disc in its entirety.
i.e., it's fucking impossible to find a copy of the Nutcracker Suite- the whole thing. Not just highlights of.
My Essential Ballet CD has the entire second act. Only the entire second act. WTF? What about the first half of the damn ballet???
It has:
~ The Magic Castle on the Mountain of Sweets
~ Clara and Prince Charming
~ Chocolate (Spanish Dance)
~ Coffee (Arabian Dance)
~ Tea (Chinese Dance)
~ Trepak (Russian Dance)
~ Dance of the Reed Pipes
~ Polinchinelle (sometimes Marzipan/Mother Ginger)
~ Waltz of the Flowers
I just got something (deceptively!) labeled as the Nutcracker Suite from the school library. It includes:
~ The Minature Overture
~ March
~ Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy
...and Coffee, Trepak, Tea, Dance of the Reeds, and Waltz of the Flowers. But that's it. It doesn't even have most of the movements that my Essential Ballet does. Hello, stupidity.
HELLO?!?!?! Where the hell are the Snowflakes? The party scene? The battle between Nutcracker and the Mice?????
AAARRRRRRRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--- Sorry. This is vastly annoying. I want to listen to the whole thing straight through, dammit. I'm in a Nutcracker mood. It's my favorite story/ballet EVER. And I am now denied the snowflake scene. Damn you, Bolshoi recording. Damn you, Essential Ballet.
