Most people don't recognize that until you get to the last 45 seconds.
I have it on a CD from the Boston Pops. If you have a good system with
a sub woofer it will rock the house.



Wow! Gee whiz. Oh boy. How subtle...how sublime. Pyrotechnics! Cannons!

We know, patriotism isn't your thing.

Not to be too pedantic but this is Russian patriotism.
Tchaikovsky was celebrating the defeat of Napoleon.


It's an interesting piece the first time you hear it. FlaJim, no doubt,
believes the "1812" part refers to the war between the United States and
England, and that a Russian composer wrote the piece about it as the
20th Century approached.
