In what has become somewhat of a tradition here, we're featuring Sergei Prokofiev's classic "Troika" from his Lieutenant Kijé - Symphonic Suite, Op. 60, with Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. The piece evokes a snowy winter's day, with a team of three horses pulling a sleigh through the fresh snow. It's become part of a soundtrack to the holiday season in the decades since its premiere in 1934, almost like songs from "The Nutcracker" have. Enjoy the ride.
