About "The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a : Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a: III. Waltz of the Flowers" by Berliner Philharmoniker

Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers blooms in Karajan's hands, the Berliners lush and swaying. Harp arpeggios cascade like petals, but the sweetness carries a hint of hothouse excess—a garden too perfect, its beauty almost claustrophobic. Elegance with a faint, perfumed unease.
