Walt Disney Records release the original soundtrack to The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. The album contains an original score by James Newton Howard as well as excerpts from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker ballet. The movie is based on E. T. A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King short story and Marius Petipa's The Nutcracker, about a young girl who is gifted a locked egg from her deceased mother and sets out in a magical land to retrieve the key...

There's nothing quite as magical as a good soundtrack to a Christmas movie. James Newton Howard's score for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is destined to become a timeless classic, helped in part by the weaving of themes from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker ballet throughout.

The album contains 17 tracks (1 hr, 06 min, 36 sec) and includes 'The Nutcracker Suite' with Lang Lang on piano and the song 'Fall On Me' (English Version) by Andrea Bocelli and Matteo Bocelli.

This is a timeless soundtrack that really does encapsulate the wonderment of Christmas and will be instantly loved by old and young alike. Get into the spirit of the festive season with this beautiful, magical score.
