    Last night my 85 year old father passed away.
    While i lived at home, and well after I moved out, he played 1812 ever single Sunday - without fail.
    I believe the vinyl LP he had was of -Stokowski conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra .
    Today I'm listening to it in his honour. It still soothes and stirs.

The attached artillery moved to the center, and the cavalry on that side of the line sortied against a prepared and unengaged part of the line, while the infantry never crossed the river.

      @@waitdont716 It was made by Tchaikovsky to commemorate the Russians who were able to beat back Napoleon. Nobody could rightfully joke about the French back in the day, and in no way is this piece supposed to be mocking the French invasion. This was a devastating conflict that didn't only absolutely devastate the French army, but absolutely devastated pretty much everyone in Russia. This piece is to server as a timeline of events depicting the 1812 invasion of Russia through the eyes of the Russians, and the parts where "La Marseillaise" plays, (depicting the French Army), is used in situations to show the struggle between France and Russia, in no way making the French Army seem like a joke. Napoleon was a military genius to the point where even after 90% of the French Army was decimated, (1813-1814), generals would not dare to fight Napoleon directly. Heck, during battles, men of the French Army would sometimes yell "Vive Napoleon!" and hearing that made the opposing armies flee. I don't know where or how you came up with the idea that this piece is to poke fun at the French, but I wish to see you educate yourself more on the Napoleonic Wars and the history of this piece.

      @Ratty Woof: He was (is) a great pianist (perhaps channeling Rachmaninov for us the living). And frankly, I don't know if VA is the one solely responsible for making this such a singularly great rendition. What I found, after many listens of Ormandy, Zubin Mehta, as well as a couple of others, (IMHO) it is the choral arrangement, direction and performance, which sets this one apart, particularly the differing sonority of the male vs. the female voices.
      As I was conducting it (in my living room) for about the 50th time, I envisioned the performance taking place at the Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado. Secretly, we divide each of the cohorts (male & female) in half, deploying two of each on the stage, and two disguised as members of the audience: the men near the top, the women further down. If you listen to the piece there's a section I call 'the winding down...', where the tempo slows with each stanza, until it stops, and we hear the exquisitely beautiful sound of the female chorus, as if suddenly recognizing the visage of a massive wave of Russian reinforcements, descending on Napoleon's flanks. And then, as the cannons fire, we hear the voices of the new Russian guards wading into the body of the French column, and overwhelming them.
      In my imaginary performance at Red Rocks, first the secret cohort of women doff their overcoats, and stand up "...in the midst of the people" (audience) joining their comrades on stage. Likewise, followed by the male cohort as canon and fireworks fill the sky.
      Of course this will never happen. (Which is fitting, because its not what happened in September of 1812 at Borodino, either.) But that was the vision 'planted in my brain' by this wonderful performance, and I only wish P.I. Tchaikovsky had lived to hear it !;)

    Definitely the best version of this piece I have heard. The choral parts, the bells and of course those cannons! If it doesn't blow your windows out it's not loud enough!

    Some people listen to Pachelbel's canon in the morning before work but as for me I will always listen to Tchaikovsky's cannon!

    Oh my, what a spectacular, gorgeous rendition. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" is a a huge sweep through a major event in history, Napoleon's invasion of Russia, and its impact on hundreds of characters. Having that historical background makes Tschaikovsky's portrayal of the Battle of Borodino that much more poignant.

    After I first ever heard this overture in the mid-seventies, I disregard altogether the non-chorus versions for they don’t represent the real thing the composer had in mind when he conceived this work. I always miss the girls chorus in the orchestra-only versions. It makes sense because I am a retired tenor of my city’s symphony orchestra chorus. But not only that, it’s because the human voice adds more drama and depth to the music. That’s why Beethoven’s 9th and Mahler’s 2nd are so impacting.

    This is a song that had been written on my heart since I was kid. The first time I heard it on my parents record player, I was entranced. So I'm sharing it again. It is a song that touches me to my soul. After 44 years of living on this Earth, it reaches us all. To be grateful for everything and to those who just want peace. I ask God and God alone, to grant us peace, and I sing it to myself every day.
    Mighty Lord, preserve us from jeopardy.
    Take Thee now our faith and loud crying in penitence.
    Grant victory o'er our treacherous and cruel enemies
    And to our land bring peace.
    O mighty Lord hear our lowly prayer,
    And by Thy shining holy light.
    Grant us, O Lord, peace again.
    O mighty Lord hear our prayer
    And save our people
    Forever, forever!

      I remember hearing this song from Pipes, and he told me to close my eyes and just listen. I can't remember if it had the choir in it, but I do remember buying the CD, not the album, in my early 20's. It has had such a profound impact in my life. In my youth, I was not exposed to Orthodoxy, Russians were bad, US is good. I do know after purchasing this, as well as a hotrod, my friend and I blasted this along the newly built turnpike, and we both had tears in our eyes after listening to it. Whether Russian or American, who doesn't want these words.
      Mighty Lord, preserve us from jeopardy.
      Take Thee now our faith and loud crying in penitence.
      Grant victory o'er our treacherous and cruel enemies
      And to our land bring peace.
      O mighty Lord hear our lowly prayer,
      And by Thy shining holy light.
      Grant us, O Lord, peace again.
      O mighty Lord hear our prayer
      And save our people
      Forever, forever!

      It's not a song. What IS it with this generation? Everyone under the age of 40 would rather scrape his or her nipples off with a potato peeler than utter the words "A piece of music," or "a composition."
      IT'S NOT A FUCKING SONG. ONLY A RUBE -- an idiot -- an ill-educated dolt -- USES THE WORD "SONG" TO REFER TO A PIECE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC.
      The exception: If the the composer CALLED it a song (or a lied), you can use the word "song." Otherwise, use the word PIECE.
      NOT SONG.
      PIECE! PIECE! PIECE! !!!PIECE!!!
      Are we clear? Do NOT say "song"! Say PIECE!

    My knowledge on music is quite limited, BUT I find this piece of work from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky as a delightful tribute to the outstanding Russian resistance against Napoleon's invasion of their country!
    PS: Incredible work on the chorals and images, greatclassicrecords. :)
