It’s been a while since The Planets won the Classical Music Suites Bracket so I thought I might make some free-standing polls (I can’t guarantee I won’t disappear though). If there’s a category you’d like me to run feel free to put send me an ask!
So, what’s your favourite Tchaikovsky ballet suite?
Pick a Tchaikovsky Ballet Suite
The Nutcracker
Swan Lake
Sleeping Beauty
For first place, which do you prefer?
The Planets Suite (Holst)
The Nutcracker Suite (Tchaikovsky)
The Planets Suite (Gustav Holst):
2 Submissions
Last win – Pictures at an Exhibition (Mussorgsky, orch. Ravel)
The Bakshi Lord of the Rings set "Mithrandir" to the theme from Jupiter! It's very touching :)
honestly magical. dramatic start, Jupiter both breaks my heart and makes me feel alive, the fading chorus at the end is like floating away into space. I don’t have a favourite recording. However I should mention that Melodica Men did a wonderful rendition of Jupiter that I’d like to share (they did Mars too but I like this more):
The Nutcracker Suite (Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky):
1 Submission
Last win - Swan Lake Suite (Tchaikovsky)
I know the poll is over now but some extra propaganda for nutcracker is the duke Ellington arrangement like he really did an entire big band arrangement of this random Christmas suite and it's SO GOOD
For third place, which do you prefer?
Pictures at an Exhibition (Mussorgsky, orch. Ravel)
Swan Lake Suite (Tchaikovsky
Pictures at an Exhibition (Modest Mussorgsky, orch. Maurice Ravel):
1 Submission
Last match – The Planets Suite (Holst), 37.8% to 62.2% loss
not sure any propaganda is needed bc the work speaks for itself but honestly Ravel's orchestration is incredible. The choice of instruments is perfectly thought through and elevates what was already a beautiful composition to begin with. It's an incredibly picturesque and varied suite!
Swan Lake Suite (Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky):
1 Submission
Last match – The Nutcracker Suite (Tchaikovsky), 49% to 51% loss
No propaganda
It's time to decide the winners!

Last win - Capriccio Espagnol (Rimsky-Korsakov)
it’s a masterpiece of orchestration that conveys exactly and beautifully what is happening in each movement and you know it’s good when it’s used to test how good an orchestra is also you’d better get swept away at the climax of the first movement when the chorus comes in!!
Round 4's Draw - only 8 suites remain!
Sleeping Beauty Suite vs Pictures at an Exhibition
Peer Gynt Suite no. 1 vs The Planets
The Firebird Suite vs The Nutcracker Suite
