1812 - Ouverture Solennelle Tschaikowski part two

[Grima21]

Great! Karajan was genius!

[nilsjohansandvik]

It´s a pity though that one are not allowed to keep a recording like this in One part because of the time frame here. I hate to break up music! :)

[nilsjohansandvik]

Thank you for all the nice comments, guys and dolls!! :)

It is really nice to see all of you enjoying as much as myself!

I am aware the frequency range of this posting is limited. There is a bass drum, producing very deep sounds :) , added at the end that really flutter the membran of the bass elements in my speakers - each time I play this LP I am waiting to enjoy that particular part - along with the other parts ;))

[Rhyull]

Thanks! I had this on LP too. It has never been equalled!

[tarinomas]

My frined played this for me in my twenties on a quad speaker system and i nearly died what a blood rush love the flow in this peice im forty five now and it sounds better now if anything  WoW I know that some of you are purists but I just enjoy goood music wherever I find it and this is right at the top of the game

[themouseofevil]

WONDERFUL! I have to admit that it's quite comical to hear the canon sounds without seeing anything

[Shrieken213]

So THIS is what being high is like!

@CanadaPisces

Thank you for sharing, James. I always liked this piece of work.

[3muimui]

@CanadaPisces 100% Agree with you!

Herbert Von Karajan + Berliner Philharmoniker & 1812=Magnificent!

Being a big Karajan fan, I've bought this CD for a long time & it's great to have it in my You Tube Playlist ! Thank you for sharing, James!

Many thanks to ynilsjohansandvik for the great post!

Helen : )

You are right, this is the best version, in my opinion. I certainly can listen very, very few versions of this piece, because I've been spoilt by Karajan from a very early age. ;)

Many people don't like him, but there was nobody who could elicit "drama" of any given piece of music from the orchestra. He interpreted music like their authors did, I think. I like that.

I only wish the bells were better audible, but I know this version from a record i have, so I know they are magnificent.

lol at 5:58 it sounds like a dragon

[cossack207]

DAMN! where is Jaroffs Cossacks at the end??

[endgiver]

win! Great upload thanks!!

[narfanderson]

Von Karajan was a master of dramatic finales. The movement of the tempo at the end is absolutely brilliant, never lets you go. Thank you for the video!

QUE OBRA MAS MAGNIFICA!!!!!!

Narra cada momento de la invasion de Napoleon a Rusia y su derrota.

UNA VERSION ESPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!

[aliensolutions]

THNX very much

We used to listen this one when I was just a little kid.

My brother and I loved the part with the canons and asked my father to play it over and over.

[nilsjohansandvik]

Guys, please don´t bring any politics or beliefs into this. It is music we all are here for. Thank you.

[mxgzn]

@nilsjohansandvik ...and that music has political and religious connotations. It was very clearly the composer intention or else he wouldn't have used the "Lord save thy people" hymn.

[GuessIIIwho]

Joining a party doesn't make u accepting its ideas.

since u coudln't make any music outside, he has chosen his love for music :(

[dorfischer]

fascinating interpretation. pity he joined the Nazi party. but still. absolotely great. the tempos at the end- really strong.

also, they have one of the best canon sounds i've heard: good base-like canons. I really ought to find out what canons are these. anyone?
