I’ve long found the Sugar Plum Fairy to be among the most enchanting parts of The Nutcracker. Here’s a performance by Anna and Arkadiusz Szafraniec, a duo that plays a glass harp so large that it covers five octaves.

    Thanks for that. My high school German teacher used to play the glass harp. He was one of my favorite teachers and I have had a soft spot for the instrument ever since.

    Thanks a lot! I have never known the name of the tune, now I do! Sounds great!

    Wow…that was incredible. Even as a musician it still fascinated me. What precision!
