[mayena]

Can anyone translate from 8:47 to 9:05 please?.

[cocamelg]

Muchas gracias por la subir la versión coral, es dificil encontrarla. Es la mejor interpretación que haya escuchado nunca....... bellisimos los cuadros, emociona el final con las campanas y artillería sobre las fotos. Un gran trabajo, gracias berrik500 !!!

[ikschrijflangenamen]

Did I spot the pope at 12:47?

[berrik500]

@ikschrijflangenamen No, it was Santa Claus incognito (of Sinterklaas...)

[raybroneske]

firstly, Thank You to Peter Tchaikovsky, a brilliant piece of music!! Then thank you to who was inspired to add the chorus...it's exquisite. Also very well put together. It is my most favourite music and has been since the first time I heard it. cheers......

[Gecko7291971]

@raybroneske Actually, his full name was Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Not Peter Tchaikovsky

[ycl260779]

@berrik500 Thanks! I'll see if I can find that online.

[thewomandirector]

GREAT video! Wonderful visuals and editing. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful recording of one of my favorite works!

[MrSiaochu]

Its CD is released in January, 1998!

[typicalviewer2]

I love this song, and this composer.. it has such soul. probably because it requires so much talent from so many people and because it was written about an event that shaped the world. hard to find in today's music.

[sfkcbf]

Marvelous performance and especially appreciate the choral additions. A+ video also. Music + video images = captivating and satisfying listening / viewing experience.

[danielgramalho]

thanks a lot!!!!! The best version ever!!!!!!!! Incredible!!!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!!

[andrewlekkas]

DEFINATELLY THE BEST VERSION! I LOVE the chorus versiot of the 1812 overtunre, especially the russian one. It is elegance and pure awesomeness! And yes, the finale is the best and most realistic of all.

[waweva]

This extremely good video should have 16.528.371 views, instead of 16.528.

Excellent work and the choir fantastic.

[Cyberdyne4000]

An awesome rendition. Best piece of classical music in the World in my opinion. Even better with the choir.

[grahambbb]

Thanks for this. I've only recently discovered that there is a choral version! I'll be doing this with the WNO in Cardiff in April 2012...see you there.

Thanks again berrick.

[PrussiaWillRiseAgain]

@Rusvul What is the song at 8:50?

[berrik500]

@PrussiaWillRiseAgain It is a Russian traditional folksong. maybe : At the Gate, at my Gate.[

[FrikiGir77]

Wow... Versión Coral... Me encanta :D

[raymax2010]

Whoa! a good song?

[raymax2010]

I like this song, because it is a opera?

[FrikiGir77]

@raymax2010 nOOO! 

[GothicKnight2]

My favorite video so far of my all time favorite piece of music!!!

[typicalviewer2]

Im impressed, these cannons actually sound the artillery pieces should.

[slothropgr]

Excellent! The first recording with chorus was Igor Buketoff on RCA in the late 60's--great chorus but his cannon sounded like rugs being beaten on a clothesline. These ain't no kind rugs. LOVE the paintings and animations! Khorosho!

[berrik500]

@slothropgr Ha, Ha, humor in critics!

[typicalviewer2]

god napoleon was such a badass, sure this song is about the russian artillery destroying him, but still few men have dared to dream the way he lived.

[MrAnarmlessman]

No words can EVER describe the The Beauty of Tchaikovsky's Music and art...

[ryoushii]

Reading up on this on Wikipedia, apparently this version was performed to the specifications Tchaikovsky wanted for the 1880 premier, complete with 16 12 pounders of the 1812 War era. I would love to have seen that battery firiing.

[ryoushii]

My first recording of this piece was a christmas present and was the Eugene Ormandy recording with the Philadelphia Symphony and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing the opening national hymn.

Nice to hear this Russian version, in Russian.

[elasecinodeexcusas]

nos obligaron a entrar a su puta pagina para poner un comentario chuck norris lo matara

[wilky1189]

[J1mmyWA]

Hear, Hear!

[LINZROQUE]

[paugarriga]

Una interpretación excelente, acompañado de unos cuadros muy buenos. Probablemente, la mejor versión que haya escuchado nunca. Gracias por este magnífico trabajo.

[xxwoodanxx]

Anyone knows who make that pictures?

[berrik500]

@xxwoodanxx

I took them from google search : napoleon 1812 .They are from different painters

[AlfredoM80]

awesome!!! I´ve heard a Philadelphia Orchestra version with chorus, but this one kick ass!!!!

[alessvalessv]

skvělý

[richwhip1]

yes Tchaikovsky did write the words in when he wrote this piece

[athalontheferret]

@richwhip1 The words are the Russian Orthodox collect for peace.  watch?v=ZR5O5-OxIYE

přiznám se, že je to geniální

[thisdaywefightlotr]

marsellaise

5:45-7:00

12:00-12:50

[Rusvul]

Thanks very much for uploading this version. While there are a number of renditions that have choir at the start, there are only a few (maybe only two?) renditions that I know of that have vocal at the bit around ~8:50 as well as choir at the end. The vocals add much more impact in my opinion so I favor these versions.

[ziamac]

i havent heard this in years!!!! easily the best version ive ever heard. had this on vinyl a long time ago. memory serves me well, the bells are russian bells, thank you very much!

[MrSiaochu]

It is recorded in Dec. 1996 and released in Jan. 1998

[imperiumdiaboli]

So the choral version is the original?

[berrik500]

@imperiumdiaboli

No, thank you, this is the choral version edited by Andrew Cornall. The St. Petersburg Orchestra and I think the Bells, maybe the cannon shots also are the original ones.

[imperiumdiaboli]

@berrik500 Okay, that explains it, I did a double take for a second. Still a great recording!

[nemo8220]

@imperiumdiaboli I am pleased to hear 'God Save the Tsar' in the crescendo. It's good that traditional Russian history is being re-injected back into the mainstream. Exactly as Pytor Illych intended it.

[imperiumdiaboli]

@nemo8220 Not sure how this relates to my remark directly, but I agree with you. I just don't know if Tchaikovsky intended for a chorus, though it's obvious that "God Save the Tsar" belongs in there in some form or another.

[athalontheferret]

@nemo8220 And "La Marsellaise".
