Sort of like the 1812 Overture. Make sure you listen to the slow repetitive build up to the crescendo. This song has particularly memories for me because I had a college gf who liked to put on Pictures at an Exhibition when she would want to "cuddle". She would insist we make it last to at least the Great Gates of Kiev. I am sure this falls into the Too Much Information category, but I thought some of you may want to try this out. Very good stuff! I really like the tympani (kettle drums). I played them in high school orchestra. It isn't easy to be on pitch with them, they are adjustable with a foot pedal, but you have to have a real ear for pitch. Thing I remember most was during a junior high school performance of 1812 Overture the tympani cannon shot sounded more like a beebee gun. Head split. Since I played brass, my bad notes were just bad playing. Nothing matches a real cannon for the crescendo. ![]() Yup. Nukes. But, the Telarc 1812 would be a close second. It has to be the original 1979 version...the one that causes these kinds of comments. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/59304/579629.aspx This is it. http://tinyurl.com/5kpa4f Fantastic recording. You really haven't heard it until you've heard it through a set of tri-amped Bozack Concert Grands. |
