I'm also fond of Tchaikovsky. I've always enjoyed "The Nutcracker" because of the ballet. So honestly, Tchaikovsky is the way I've made a very tenuous step into the genre. It can be quite intimidating when discussing with someone who really knows their stuff.
I prefer the 1812 Overture over The Nutcracker myself. It could be that I had to listen to it over and over again for a class a few years ago, so I got sick of it.
