Yes, the Nutcracker on Telarc by Mackerras and London Symphony is very well played and one of Telarc's better recordings.
Dutoit and Montreal Symphony has a beautiful Swan Lake on Decca, with superb sound.
Four Seasons has been done to death, and I've tried many, but my current favorite is Tafelmusik on Sony. I normally abhor original instrument stuff because my ears just aren't accustomed to the thin sound, but this excellent recording and performance are enjoyable.
