I can easily say that this is my favorite recording of this piece!
The 1812 Overture is famous for its very epic finale, and though the piece was written to celebrate the anniversary of Russia's victory over France in 1812, the piece's finale is very often used for the 4th of July during fireworks displays.
This is the entire recording of the piece; to hear the very famous finale, you can listen through the whole thing or fast forward the video to where it begins at 11:30 in the video.
Enjoy!

    That is because it represents the French imperial troops charging in waves, attempting, unsuccessfully, to break the Russian lines at the Battle of Borodino.

    This is my wake up alarm. Also, whenever I'm in a mood for gratuitous fireworks.

    Technically true, but the battle was a Pyrrhic victory in that it failed to achieve its strategic objective.

    But we won this battle and we took Moscow.

    because the 1812 overture was an important part of the film "V for Vendetta," which revolves around that quote, as the main protagonist hides his identity behind a Guy Fawkes mask, and the quote is to remember Guy Fawkes, who in 1605 tried to blow up the houses of parliament in London.

    I feel as if I'm in a war with this world. (tears) In an epic battle to keep the faith. To not go charging off half cocked. To trust in the Word of God. His justice, HIS revenge.

    RIP Kevin Ambrose, age 19 yrs. Sot and killed on the streets of Chicago.

    We may have lost the battle, (but it is promised,) we shall win the war...aj

    "Remember, remember

    The fifth of November

    The gunpowder treason and plot.

    I know of no reason

    Why the gunpowder treason

    Should ever be forgot."
