LOS ANGELES - nvtip -- Sony Music announces SUGAR PLUM ON THE RUN, the new album from composer LIOR ROSNER, featuring an original story about the Sugar Plum Fairy from holiday favorite The Nutcracker. JEREMY IRONS narrates the story, written by James Lorick and Rosner, with the ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA and conductor SCOTT DUNN performing Rosner's music.
The album also features the iconic Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, possibly the most popular moment from this magical ballet. To accompany the original, Rosner has written a set of variations on Tchaikovsky's famous Dance of which he says "I composed a set of eight variations that paid homage to the tradition of Russian music, imagining what would have happened if all my favorite Russian composers were each commissioned to write a variation on Tchaikovsky's theme."
The album will be released digitally only on Friday November 8, 2019.
Rosner was inspired by the Christmas season and Tchaikovsky's well-loved miniature, which he felt could be developed into a longer work. He subsequently added a narrative which tells a story about the adventures of a young fairy. More adventures are planned for the future.
Composer Lior Rosner says: "I was fascinated with the idea of Christmas and the Christmas season. That fascination started after moving to the US. From classic holiday specials on television to the iconic music and plays, I always thought of adding my musical voice to the acclaimed Christmas canon.
"No piece is more synonymous with the Christmas season than Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. When I used to listen to the ballet, I really wished that Tchaikovsky had continued developing the music from the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy – so I chose to craft a set of variations based on that musical material.
"Shortly after finishing the work, I realized that there is a strong narrative feel to the piece, and I decided to add a narrator, telling what will be the first in a series of new adventures for Sugar Plum. I couldn't be happier to create this narrative with Jeremy Irons, our phenomenally gifted narrator, and the acclaimed Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London."
Jeremy Irons says: "I am very happy to be part of this project, giving life to The Sugar Plum Fairy, beloved by many. Fees and royalties are donated to Merchant's Quay Ireland, which I hope will make a small difference to the homeless in Ireland."

Sony Classical represents recorded music history like no other company in the world because it has grown from the Classical catalogue of Columbia Records, the world's oldest recording company (established 1887).
Our very logo today echoes the so-called "Magic Notes" logo which was Columbia's emblem since 1887.
But, Sony Classical today also owns all recordings released on RCA, the premium Classical label of the Victor Talking Machine Company, founded in 1902. This heritage has been continually developed and added to through the decades before it was eventually combined under the ownership of Sony. It spans over 130 years of recording work, from Caruso, Casals and Heifetz via Toscanini, Rubinstein and Walter, via Horowitz, Glenn Gould and Bernstein all the way to today's new recordings by Jonas Kaufmann, Arcadi Volodos or Yo-Yo Ma.
