1812 Overture by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)

Sounds strange without violins, cellos... strings

Who is the orchestra? I noticed quite a few young people, which is always great so see. FYI...the the Battle of Borodino was considered somewhat of a French victory or draw. And the Marsiellaise didn't exist in 1812. But Tchaikovsky was smart to incorporate it into this piece.

Thanks for posting.

@DrMarianus i noticed at wikipedia that Masiellaise (French Anthem) was writed at 1792 and it was oficial at 1795, it existed before 1812
