Sadly even this doesn't live up to the original. The original vision for the premiere performance (which sadly never happened as intended) called for **every church in downtown Moscow** to ring their bells for the bell sections.
My older brother (8years older) introduced me to classical music with this when I was probably 7 or 8 years old. It is still my favorite piece of classical music. Mom would fuss at him whenever she and Dad came home, and the stereo volume was high but not playing. "You were playing that song again, weren't you?" My brother would respond, " But Mom, you can't have a QUIET WAR!" That was 60 year ago, and I miss my brother.
What a beautiful memory, I play for my Mother Maria Callas Ave Maria, and for my Sister Beethovens 9th Symphony, with Chorus of 10000 .What a tremendous act,and the Japanese Chorus sing in perfect German,what a treat for people who love the Classics. If somebody reads this,one just type in Beethoven 9th Symphony played with (ten thousand) 10000 Singers
@@ingeborgbilezerian1567 I drive an Uber. On May 7th, for the 200th anniversary of the 9th's first performance, I had a CD playing it in my car all day (Toscanini, the NBC Symphony, Robert Shaw with the Robert Shaw Chorale). I didn't have it loud though, as I wanted my guests to be able to have a conversation if they wanted. I drove for about 9 hours that day.
Call me a silly old duffer if you will, I am 77yrs of age, but I can not listen to this wonderful music without it bring floods of tears to my eyes. Everyone in perfect harmony. Other music has the same effect on me I am afraid. I want to go to the last night of the proms before I pass away, no chance.
You've brought me to tears. I saw this performed in 1983, John Williams conducted the BSO. They had fireworks, the US Army had howitzers, and all the churches in Boston rang their bells. This was 4th of July. My uncle had died the day before. This is a bunch of kleenex for me to get thru it. Excellent performance.
@@janeiwasduncan8463 This year they did their performance in tanglewood without any cannons or fireworks but will bring it back to the normal performance in boston next year.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has the sane reaction. Tears rolling down my face.. it's such an emotive peice. It truly dies move me. To see it performed live like this is on my bucket list.
When my high school symphonic band played 1812 Overture, the school board wouldn't allow us (the percussion section) to bring in a real cannon. However, they DID allow us to bring in two 12 gauge shotguns (with blanks), along with two large, metal trash cans, to create the cannon sounds! It worked perfectly! I played timpani, by the way (as I always did)! It was an awesome show! 🙂
My mother tells the story of my first grade teacher telling her the story of asking the class their favorite songs and music. After a few Old MacDonald and Mary had a little lamb... She got to me. Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture . She was dumbfounded, and told my mother so. To this day it's still my favorite. I'm now 49 and go see the San Diego symphony perform it every year.
The same happened to me, our music teacher played it on an old grammophone and asked us if we knew this performance, i was the only one in the class to say 1812 overture by Pjotr Tchaikovsky. No need to say the teacher was astounded and asked how i knew, i simply said my father had told me about classical music when i was a lot younger. I was about 12 year old then now i am 72. Oddly enough this happened to my oldest daughter to in her class when she was 10 years old at the time and her teacher asked how she knew my daughter's answer was: from my father . You never know how your kids are going to be but you can as a parent teach them in a lot of ways to help them going through life. Music is one of those things that bring people together regardless. There are many but the 1812 overture gets me ......... always a great feeling.
As a fellow musician who has played this many times, orchestral and band transcription versions, I cannot tell you how insanely jealous I am that you have this ridiculously awesome venue to perform this particular piece of music. I have played it twice with canons, but to have access to church bells is over the top. I only hope you all realize how lucky you are to not only play this masterpiece in such a wonderful venue, but to play it for such an appreciative audience. What a performance.
the original plan for the 1812 Overture was for it to be first played after the completion of a new cathedral in Moscow, the bells of the new cathedral would have been used.

It's hard to do it justice without being there but that sums it up pretty well. The massive percussive effect a black powder Cannon has in person when going off is unreal.
I think what I love most about this is the smile on the composer's face just before the section with the cannons starts. It's gonna be good, and he knows it.
Beautiful. Played this overture in our senior high school band concert in 1950 in Elkhart Indiana. At that time Elkhart was the band instrument capitol of the world. I played the baritone horn. Now at 88 years of age I am playing a Miraphone euphonium in two bands. A little German band in Three rivers Michigan and the Sturgis wind symphony in Sturgis Michigan. The euphonium (in my opinion) is the most beautiful sounding brass instrument ever built. If you go on U tube you can hear many fantastic euphonium solos. My playing ability is just so so but I'll keep playing as long as I am able.
I just realized that less time passed between when Tchaikovsky wrote this composition and when your band in Elkhart played it than has passed between when you played it and today.
One of the better performances of the "1812 Overture ." What amazed me was the number of young people in the orchestra., some of them appearing to be teenagers. Good job!
It was a special concert by a music school.....they aren't even professional yet....or at the time this was filmed a few years ago. They are ALL STUDENT musicians.
It's absolutely astounding to see musicians so young playing such a difficult piece. And the REAL bells were nice to hear! Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
umbrella0326 They start young, audition out of whatever conservatory they graduate from. In Philadelphia, PA we have the Curtis Institute of Music, a tuition free school where some musicians are still elementary school age. Many of them later audition for and hold first chair in the top orchestras around the world.
There were quite a few older members of that band (symphonic)And there were some clunkers. Kid on tympani nothing to write home about. Still very good for what seems like a volunteer band.
@@johnkollias2952 it's a band affiliated with a music school in Algemesi, Spain. This appears to be its showpiece ensemble. The older players are most likely faculty and alumni. For example, the grey haired gentleman on oboe is listed on the school's website as a professor--his name is Eliseu Dasí societatmusicalalgemesi.com/professorat/239-eliseu-dasi
You could see on the conductors face right when he was signalling the cannons to fire,how his mouth was open and his finger pointing to the cannons was like him shouting out "UNLEASH HELL!"
Some of the brass during the first couple minutes is out of tune in this recording, but given that the instruments may have gone cold (that is, flat) in the final minutes before the performance began it is probably not the fault of the musicians.
Fantástica interpretación de toda la orquesta en su totalidad,cañonazos, campanadas, todo dirigido magistralmente por su director!!! Me faltan palabras para expresar, mi grado de emoción al escuchar esta Obertura 1812
I actually fired the touchdown cannon in college and we regularly played the 1812 overture with it; I was also the marching band manager. There is sort of a false ending on which I wanted to fire on both notes but could not reload fast enough. We were at Yale, where the cannon apparently belonged to the cheerleaders. They thought they were messing with us by joining in. When it came to that ending, they fired on the first note, and I fired on the last. For once it was Bang dat Bang. I picked up the cannon and as I trotted off the field I veered toward them. They looked apprehensive. But all I did was say, Thanks, I always wanted that extra shot. and kept going. My assistant said they just looked stunned that I had not laid into them. After grad school I joined the National Guard, where my job was to find the enemy artillery for ours to shoot at, so I have heard a lot of cannon fire (including the big 8 inch/203 mm M110)
INCREDIBLE!!! By far the most INSPIRED, and Greatest performance for symphonic band of this Iconic piece that I have ever heard in my Life !!! The Frosting on the Cake had to be the use of REAL Church Bells as The Composer Intended !!! Hats off to these Wonderful Young People, and their brilliant Conductor for hitting this Performance Way out the Park!!!
@@roycegladsong1710 Wow !!...What A Way To Be Introduced To Classical Music !!...An Overwhelming Composition Has Produced Another Lifetime Fan !!...Congratulations !!!..
Never in my entire 63 year life have I ever heard such a beautiful rendition of this overture, or seen it played with such passion!! I have not cried this hard since my wife passed away! All involved in producing this should be so proud!! WELL DONE!!!
Vivi años cerca de esta población valenciana sin enterarme que existia tal banda. Acabo de suscribirme. Es un real placer , felicito al maestro y a los músicos.
Tengo 69 años y crecí escuchando esta música aunque mis orígenes son humildes,pero logré afinar mis oídos y agudizar mi espíritu y así hasta el día de hoy,continúo deleitándome con esta música que jamás pasa de moda,y que inyecta paz al alma y felicidad al corazón ♥️,os saluda desde Carolina del Sur atte fernando.
I'm old now and have been a sports fan all my life; to the point of hoping one of my boys or grandsons became a sports star. Two years ago, my 3rd grandson, who is a pretty good athlete, took up the viola and slowly improved over that time. His school has put on string orchestra concerts over that period and my wife and I have gone to all of them. I break down in tears watching him every time. I told I would rather watch him play the viola, even though blended in with all the other instruments, than watch him play any sport. It took me a while to understand why, but playing sports is kinda individual thing but playing in an orchestra really is a blend of talent with its music reaching all the way to God's ears.
This piece of music is insanely fast tchaikovsky was out of his freaking mind making me learn that to earn 1st chair, 1st clarinet in my city of Birmingham, Alabama All City Band where jazz clarinetist Frank Adams pointed and said play! I was an adult and married before realizing exactly who he was on a shelf at the Jazz Hall of Fame. What a surprise and Honor. That ability may never be again so precise for me at age 50 from age 17 but it is an absolute ly cherished day amongst the other chair positions throughout my school years. I know my mother got tired of me playing while she read her books in the next bedroom. Just the 2 of us. I hope she enjoyed it like I did when my elementary band teacher who passed away on 8/8 and I graduated from high school in 1988 with another fantastic band teacher also very encouraging and awesome to respect me and my talent enough to showcase it.
I did it my freshman year to a football player on my floor, but I used the 4th mvt of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony. The next thing I know, he enrolled in a Music Appreciation course. People will never know if they truly are not exposed to it.
While listening to the victorious cannons I can imagine Napoleon's troops retreating defeated by the cold winter and the Russian army and at the same time, the people of Moscow celebrating with their churches' bell towers announcing the final joyful victory. Epic.
I love the conductors smile before all hell breaks loose and the sax player with one finger in his ear the bells are a masterpiece.Thank you for posting this great upload.
lol… “sh!ts about to get real” 😁. No disrespect, I love it. Used to play (or at least studied) violin… but I have double jointed fingertips and just couldn’t keep it under control.
Mi papá adquirió cuando yo era un adolescente, un LP de esta pieza que tenía una "pequeñísima" característica: Acompañaban a la orquesta... ¡las campanas de la Abadía de Westminster y los cañones de la escuela militar de West Point. Recuerdo que al reverso del LP estaba la historia de cómo se hizo tan magnífica grabación. Entonces hoy, al haberme encontrado esta maravillosa interpretación, afloraron los más profundos y maravillosos recuerdos. ¡Excelente interpretación! aunque sé que me quedo muy corto en alabanzas. Mil y mil gracias por haber logrado que un casi setentón derramara unas furtivas lagrimas de alegría y emoción.
I have heard this piece so many times, even with 105mm cannons (Japanese Army band, they overpower the instruments a lot, but WOW), but hearing it with actual church bells instead of just tubular bells, it just hits completely different. I had to intercept a tear or two
en las navidades mi padre (que fallecio este año de un acv, tristemente) tradicionalmente ponia la obertura 1812 cuando sonban las 24 hrs, jamas olvidare esos hermosos dias al lado de el, con las campanas sonando y los cañones . el me enseño amar la musica y a llevarla en mi corazon.
Tears when the bells started. It's alot like other bells people used long ago to inform, celebrate, or call to action.. Now the bells are mostly gone. I didn't even know the story until I read it just now... It's the traditional song played at Independance Day fireworks celebrations in the U.S. even though it's not American.
It just can't get any better than this! Superb performance by an extremely talented orchestra of one of the best classical pieces of all time. Brought a huge smile to my face.
This piece will always hold a special piece of my heart. My grandpa loved having me over before he passed and this song was played almost every time I went over and it's a special thanks to him for giving me a passion for music. Nothing in the world transcends like music
Astonishing how so much brilliance can come from the brain of one mortal being and how total strangers a hundred years later or more can bring it to live like this... goosebumps thropughout... just close your eyes, block everything else out and enjoy...
No me canso de ver y oír esta obertura, Cuando estuve estudiando el 5to. grado de primaria en El Salvador, mi profesor era muy ávido en la música clásica y una tarde, nos puso esta obertura sin decirnos su nombre y nada en particular, nos pidió que la oyéramos y escribiéramos que pensábamos y de que se trataba esta obra, todos dimos diferentes opiniones, y volvimos a escucharlo y el profesor nos iba diciendo que es lo que iba pasando en esa obra, entonces ya tuvimos una idea de lo que es música clásica, Cuando salieron los discos compactos, éste fue el disco que compré, pero en 1998, de pronto quedé sordo, oyendo solamente el 10% y así viví hasta el 2015 cuando pude recibir unos audífonos de "BlueTooth" y poder "oír" otra vez, y esta obra interpretada por Ustedes fue lo primero que escuché, Muchas gracias por darme el gozo el cual creí haber perdido para siempre. Siempre estaré muy agradecido.
Pocos comentarios tan emotivos y gratificantes he leído en youtube. A veces, uno no agradece el poder tener y disfrutar de todos los sentidos. Un abrazo David !!
I attended a live performance of the Overture by the Naval Academy Orchestra in Annapolis, MD, when I was stationed there in 1984. And it included the cannons. A once in a lifetime performance!
I cant think of another song that makes you crave and yearn for the finale like this does, and then the satisfying dopamine rush it produces when it comes is pure bliss.
This orchestra is a perfect size, it's big enough to have a full "wall" of sound but small enough yet that the audience can see (and identify with) each musician
This is absolutely fantastic!! I have heard this played live at least 10 times, all of them with real cannons (I used to live close to a military base). But this is the first time I've ever heard the cannon operators properly line up the blasts with the music! And as everyone has already said, those young people are shockingly good. And ah, the bells!!! So wonderful! I wish I could've been there. Freaking epic. I cannot imagine how hard it was to get all the permits to play this in public like this, so I have to think that it might be the only time that some of these musicians will play it with the cannons and church bells like this. What a dream. I would've killed to be one of those french hornists. :)
@sandwinder326 Unfortunately, my mother would not allow me to join the band in 7th grade. Her reason: she had taken my brother to summer practices all during high school, and by golly, she WASN'T GOING TO DO IT FOR ME! Many years later, I told her that I had scored the highest in our sixth grade class for musical aptitude. She never said a word. IT took a traumatic brain injury for me (at 52 yrs old) many yrs later for me to finally get a chance for voice lessons. The doctor said that the lessons wouldn't work to bring back my speaking voice (expressive aphasia), but as a science teacher and non cancerous brain tumor survivor( very large tumor), I knew that the brain could be rewired. It took my instructor and me several years, but not only could I sing and talk, but she had me singing the alto solos in Handel's Messiah!
@@monicaluketich6913 Very sad your mother prevented you from reaching your potential with your God given talent. Growing up in those times were different for sure as we're probably around the same age. But our parents learned from their parents and with each generation most parents try to do better. I absolutely love Handel's Messiah and it's a staple of my playlist every year starting at Thanksgiving. I fondly remember first hearing it at my grandparent's home and then my Dad would play it. I also remember many of the great traditional hymns. I was in the church choir in my very young years as a soprano but never went any further with it. How wonderful you're able to sing and share your talents and amazing music with others. You never know what child or adult you'll inspire in your performances.
I've loved rock 'n roll all my life, but not one piece has ever brought out the goose bumps. However, the 1812 Overture brings them out most of the time, & when I saw the bells begin twirling in this presentation, they simply exploded out of my skin.
There are not words to express how good this is. Cannons and a Bell Tower! Awesome! Edit: Just watched it again, had me in tears. So emotional, especially if you know the story behind it. Saw this live at a Concert in the Park, Auckland, about 16 years ago. NZSO and the Navy brought their cannons. Just wonderful.
I came here after watching the Flash Mob, thinking I recognized one of the Cellist and found it to be the same group. The audience woke-up and couldn't quit talking after the cannon firing, that was awesome along with the church bells was a great effect. Then seeing that one lady after that on the left rubbing her arms to get rid of the goose bumps told the story of this music even better. Great Performance!!
There are two kinds of people who watch this, those who think of Quaker Oats, Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat, and all the others who have no clue as to what I just posted about.
Es extraordinaria la manera de interpretar esta obra maestra del genial Tchaicovsky Pocas veces he tenido la oportunidad de escucharla Pero realmente es emocionante escucharla en vivo con toda esas variaciones instrumentales y parte de la Marsellesa Sencillamente maravillosa Saludos desde Mexico
The mind that composed and arranged this music was operating on a level that can only be dreamt of nowadays. BRAVO to the musicians who played this for us!
Esta grandiosa composición de Tchaikosky me produce una gran emoción cuando suenan los cañones y el sonido de las campanas. Al.oir esto último siempre me saltan las lágrimas de la gran emoción siento. Muchas gracias!!!!
Patrick: "Are Churchbells an Instrument?" Squidward: "No Patrick, Churchbells is not an instrument!" Patrick:"....." Squidward: "Neither are Cannons! Tchaikovsky": Churchbells and Cannons are instruments now!
Wonderful performance and I'm making allowance for limitations in recording this truly memorable performance. I'm quite positive that those who attended this concert were enthralled from beginning to end. Even in 1882 Russia still celebrated their defeat of Napoleon and his Grand Armee Tchaikovsky putting to music the pathos of an age 70 years past.
Tchaikovsky woke up and said Trumpets and Timpani are not enough. Let's shoot cannons and ring huge bells and it would be alright 😂 The work put in to this is not short of amazing. Wonderful.
I've many things to say to, and about the players in this presentation. They all begin with: "WOW!" Okay, I'll stop there. Thank you so very much for this work. The entire world is better for it.
De chiquita escuchaba a Tchaikovsky y es para mi unos de los compositores más sorprendentes y geniales del mundo y no dejo de emocionarme hasta las lagrimas al escuchar esta Obertura épica, heroica , sublime combinar las campanas, el fogeo y la musica solo lo hace un genio..gracias Tchaikovsky por el legado que dejaste

I First heard this when forced to go on a school trip 57 years ago to a place called Knellar hall where they train the military bands I can still see it in my minds eyes and remember being about ten feet from the tubular bells Thank you Mum
Freaking AWESOME!!!!!! I can only imagine how magnificent it would have been there for the LIVE performance. Kudos to all the amazing musicians who did this proud, THANK YOU is somehow just not enough....
Brilliant!!! Thank you so much!! Typing through tears in my eyes as this brings back sweet memories of my early childhood, Grandma's house. My mother, a pianist, raised me with classical music. It is in the top 5 of my bucket list to hear the Boston Pops do this on the 4th of July.
My favorite song ever since I was child (I'm 67 now) and have seen many performances both live and on TH-cam - but this one actually gave me goose-bumps! Totally awe inspiring and fantastic job.
This truly is the best performance of this piece I've seen in twenty years. The coordination from the cannons is entirely unmatched in any other live or recorded performance I've heard.
OMG ! What performance abd what a wonderful treat this mist have been for those there watching and listening to this. I'm an avid lover of live music and in my teenage years would take any opportunity to go t olive performances from classic to rock and from soul music funk and reggae to country and western. I've seen this performed live 3 times and it's such an evocative piece of music, an absolute masterpiece bit this performance was wonderful. To be bale to co ordinate a full orchestra is itself an achievement but to then have to get the cannons and church bells to get in time is beyond excellent, I give this 5 stars (out of 5) and then an extra 2 for the cannons and bells. .
My most favorite piece of classical music. It is so uplifting. It makes want to attack every new day with my best, live life, enjoy every day, it does not last forever.
Let's stop and honor and appreciate this masterpiece of music the musicians deserve a lot of credit tons of it keep on playing job well done you should be amazed and proud much love and respect and appreciation sadly you can do my job and I can't do your job it's real skills talents and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks stay safe and warm out there !!!

If I am right, Tchaikovsky said he hated this piece since he did it in a rush
Gotta be a conductor's dream to direct a cannon in this piece. He was going all in on the handwaves during the first five cannon shots.

It's hard to do it justice without being there but that sums it up pretty well. The massive percussive effect a black powder Cannon has in person when going off is unreal.
@@kishascapea hammer slamming off your eardrum would sum it up
That was delightful. I particularly loved the fact that so many young people were among the adults in the orchestra. Loved every minute.
I think what I love most about this is the smile on the composer's face just before the section with the cannons starts. It's gonna be good, and he knows it.
Dylan Wintle You mean the conductor; the composer is dead!
@@lisafisher2262 you might say he's decomposing.

Do you mean the Maestro?
My, Tchaikovsky is looking good for his age!
Must be all exercise he gets waving his arms about like a lunatic?
Dylan Wintle Tchaikovsky hated this overture!
Beautiful. Played this overture in our senior high school band concert in 1950 in Elkhart Indiana. At that time Elkhart was the band instrument capitol of the world. I played the baritone horn. Now at 88 years of age I am playing a Miraphone euphonium in two bands. A little German band in Three rivers Michigan and the Sturgis wind symphony in Sturgis Michigan. The euphonium (in my opinion) is the most beautiful sounding brass instrument ever built. If you go on U tube you can hear many fantastic euphonium solos. My playing ability is just so so but I'll keep playing as long as I am able.
I agree! Played it in school and loved it - sounds the most like the human voice, I read somewhere...
Love this post 😍
Dont ever lose that passion. I will check out what you suggest 🙂
God bless you sir
I just realized that less time passed between when Tchaikovsky wrote this composition and when your band in Elkhart played it than has passed between when you played it and today.

Such a magnificent job. I’m always moved to tears by this piece, but this was on a different level. Bravissimo! 👏👏👏👏👏
One of the better performances of the "1812 Overture ." What amazed me was the number of young people in the orchestra., some of them appearing to be teenagers. Good job!
It was a special concert by a music school.....they aren't even professional yet....or at the time this was filmed a few years ago. They are ALL STUDENT musicians.
I will also add, the adults in the orchestra were the instructors at the school.
@@LadyDragonsblood This explains why so many of them are out of tune.
It's absolutely astounding to see musicians so young playing such a difficult piece.
And the REAL bells were nice to hear!
Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
umbrella0326 They start young, audition out of whatever conservatory they graduate from. In Philadelphia, PA we have the Curtis Institute of Music, a tuition free school where some musicians are still elementary school age. Many of them later audition for and hold first chair in the top orchestras around the world.
There were quite a few older members of that band (symphonic)And there were some clunkers. Kid on tympani nothing to write home about. Still very good for what seems like a volunteer band.
Add to this a Russian Orthodox choir for the beginning and end!
@@johnkollias2952 it's a band affiliated with a music school in Algemesi, Spain. This appears to be its showpiece ensemble. The older players are most likely faculty and alumni. For example, the grey haired gentleman on oboe is listed on the school's website as a professor--his name is Eliseu Dasí

We played this in high school band. Not that hard. Of course, we didn’t have cannons and bells ❤️🤣
I felt the need to applaud from behind my laptop six years later. This was truly magnificent.
You could see on the conductors face right when he was signalling the cannons to fire,how his mouth was open and his finger pointing to the cannons was like him shouting out "UNLEASH HELL!"
More So, Unleash Heaven!!! Because THE GLORY CAME DOWN!!!
That actually scared me and had me jump from my bed 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
How 723 people can dislike this is beyond me, an excellent effort by such a young and talented orchestra, well done guys.
Thank you very much Cliff! We're glad you liked it. Consider subscribing to our channel so you don't miss any of the musical performances we do. ❤️
They were French 🇫🇷
Yes, young.
Some of the brass during the first couple minutes is out of tune in this recording, but given that the instruments may have gone cold (that is, flat) in the final minutes before the performance began it is probably not the fault of the musicians.
It’s probably that horrific section at 12:51 that single-handedly caused all the dislikes
Fantástica interpretación de toda la orquesta en su totalidad,cañonazos, campanadas, todo dirigido magistralmente por su director!!! Me faltan palabras para expresar, mi grado de emoción al escuchar esta Obertura 1812
"What instrument do you play?"
*"Artillery."*
"What?"
*"Did I stutter?"*
So metal
Cannon
Clarinet
"In the contest between the sword and he spirit, the spirit will win in the long run." Napoleon (something like that)
I actually fired the touchdown cannon in college and we regularly played the 1812 overture with it; I was also the marching band manager. There is sort of a false ending on which I wanted to fire on both notes but could not reload fast enough. We were at Yale, where the cannon apparently belonged to the cheerleaders. They thought they were messing with us by joining in. When it came to that ending, they fired on the first note, and I fired on the last. For once it was Bang dat Bang. I picked up the cannon and as I trotted off the field I veered toward them. They looked apprehensive. But all I did was say, Thanks, I always wanted that extra shot. and kept going. My assistant said they just looked stunned that I had not laid into them.
After grad school I joined the National Guard, where my job was to find the enemy artillery for ours to shoot at, so I have heard a lot of cannon fire (including the big 8 inch/203 mm M110)
INCREDIBLE!!! By far the most INSPIRED, and Greatest performance for symphonic band of this Iconic piece that I have ever heard in my Life !!! The Frosting on the Cake had to be the use of REAL Church Bells as The Composer Intended !!! Hats off to these Wonderful Young People, and their brilliant Conductor for hitting this Performance Way out the Park!!!

Obertura 1812 sólo un genio como TCHAIKOVSKY PUDO componer tan grandiosa obra Gracias por permitirme disfrutar de la grandiosa obra
People all talk about the cannons when they hear this song, but no one is talking about using church bells? That's the best part!
ONE WORD SUMS IT UP.... MARVELLOUS
by now everyone here is talking about the church bells
‘came for the cannons, stayed for the church bells’ hehe
don't forget the choir, it's sadly missing
MORE COWBELL
Loved the church bells....Moved me so much....Well done....and thank you
Never in my entire 63 year life have I ever heard such a beautiful rendition of this overture, or seen it played with such passion!! I have not cried this hard since my wife passed away! All involved in producing this should be so proud!! WELL DONE!!!
Excelente compartir con INSTAGRAM
Vivi años cerca de esta población valenciana sin enterarme que existia tal banda. Acabo de suscribirme. Es un real placer , felicito al maestro y a los músicos.
Over 200 years later and Tchaikovskys 1812 is still off the charts! Awesome.
The song isn't 200+years old, 1812 is the year of the battle the song is about. The song was written in the 1880s I believe.

I'm old now and have been a sports fan all my life; to the point of hoping one of my boys or grandsons became a sports star. Two years ago, my 3rd grandson, who is a pretty good athlete, took up the viola and slowly improved over that time. His school has put on string orchestra concerts over that period and my wife and I have gone to all of them. I break down in tears watching him every time. I told I would rather watch him play the viola, even though blended in with all the other instruments, than watch him play any sport. It took me a while to understand why, but playing sports is kinda individual thing but playing in an orchestra really is a blend of talent with its music reaching all the way to God's ears.
a beautiful comment - bless your heart and your family
This piece of music is insanely fast tchaikovsky was out of his freaking mind making me learn that to earn 1st chair, 1st clarinet in my city of Birmingham, Alabama All City Band where jazz clarinetist Frank Adams pointed and said play! I was an adult and married before realizing exactly who he was on a shelf at the Jazz Hall of Fame. What a surprise and Honor. That ability may never be again so precise for me at age 50 from age 17 but it is an absolute ly cherished day amongst the other chair positions throughout my school years. I know my mother got tired of me playing while she read her books in the next bedroom. Just the 2 of us. I hope she enjoyed it like I did when my elementary band teacher who passed away on 8/8 and I graduated from high school in 1988 with another fantastic band teacher also very encouraging and awesome to respect me and my talent enough to showcase it.
This is one of my all time favorite pieces and is the piece I always suggest when someone tells me "Classical music is too boring"
I suggest the Stars and Stripes forever by sousa
I did it my freshman year to a football player on my floor, but I used the 4th mvt of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony. The next thing I know, he enrolled in a Music Appreciation course. People will never know if they truly are not exposed to it.
😂! Boring! With cannons? 😅
Absolutely stirs the soul doesn't it!!!
I saw Classical musique is too complicated for most.
While listening to the victorious cannons I can imagine Napoleon's troops retreating defeated by the cold winter and the Russian army and at the same time, the people of Moscow celebrating with their churches' bell towers announcing the final joyful victory. Epic.
Put a shirt on! Jesus! Man!
EXACTLY 💯
That's what happened when Hitler's armies were defeated in April, 1945. This music gives courage and glory to all who listen to it.
theres a video explaining what every part represents btw
I love the conductors smile before all hell breaks loose and the sax player with one finger in his ear the bells are a masterpiece.Thank you for posting this great upload.
lol… “sh!ts about to get real” 😁. No disrespect, I love it. Used to play (or at least studied) violin… but I have double jointed fingertips and just couldn’t keep it under control.
Mi papá adquirió cuando yo era un adolescente, un LP de esta pieza que tenía una "pequeñísima" característica: Acompañaban a la orquesta... ¡las campanas de la Abadía de Westminster y los cañones de la escuela militar de West Point. Recuerdo que al reverso del LP estaba la historia de cómo se hizo tan magnífica grabación. Entonces hoy, al haberme encontrado esta maravillosa interpretación, afloraron los más profundos y maravillosos recuerdos. ¡Excelente interpretación! aunque sé que me quedo muy corto en alabanzas. Mil y mil gracias por haber logrado que un casi setentón derramara unas furtivas lagrimas de alegría y emoción.
I have heard this piece so many times, even with 105mm cannons (Japanese Army band, they overpower the instruments a lot, but WOW), but hearing it with actual church bells instead of just tubular bells, it just hits completely different. I had to intercept a tear or two
en las navidades mi padre (que fallecio este año de un acv, tristemente) tradicionalmente ponia la obertura 1812 cuando sonban las 24 hrs, jamas olvidare esos hermosos dias al lado de el, con las campanas sonando y los cañones . el me enseño amar la musica y a llevarla en mi corazon.
Tchaikovsky was a genius, I will hear no argument!
I guess no human can argue that...
The master of melody!
A god
Absolutely!
And God needed a composer, and so he created Tchaikovsky.
We making out of the Catacombs of Paris with this one 🗣🔥🔥
Tears when the bells started. It's alot like other bells people used long ago to inform, celebrate, or call to action.. Now the bells are mostly gone.
I didn't even know the story until I read it just now... It's the traditional song played at Independance Day fireworks celebrations in the U.S. even though it's not American.

It just can't get any better than this! Superb performance by an extremely talented orchestra of one of the best classical pieces of all time. Brought a huge smile to my face.
This piece will always hold a special piece of my heart. My grandpa loved having me over before he passed and this song was played almost every time I went over and it's a special thanks to him for giving me a passion for music. Nothing in the world transcends like music
Astonishing how so much brilliance can come from the brain of one mortal being and how total strangers a hundred years later or more can bring it to live like this... goosebumps thropughout... just close your eyes, block everything else out and enjoy...
i wish the cannon would become more mainstream, it's my favorite instrument.
Might make playing inside concert halls a bit difficult, wouldn't you think?

No me canso de ver y oír esta obertura, Cuando estuve estudiando el 5to. grado de primaria en El Salvador, mi profesor era muy ávido en la música clásica y una tarde, nos puso esta obertura sin decirnos su nombre y nada en particular, nos pidió que la oyéramos y escribiéramos que pensábamos y de que se trataba esta obra, todos dimos diferentes opiniones, y volvimos a escucharlo y el profesor nos iba diciendo que es lo que iba pasando en esa obra, entonces ya tuvimos una idea de lo que es música clásica, Cuando salieron los discos compactos, éste fue el disco que compré, pero en 1998, de pronto quedé sordo, oyendo solamente el 10% y así viví hasta el 2015 cuando pude recibir unos audífonos de "BlueTooth" y poder "oír" otra vez, y esta obra interpretada por Ustedes fue lo primero que escuché, Muchas gracias por darme el gozo el cual creí haber perdido para siempre. Siempre estaré muy agradecido.
¡Eres bendecido por Dios! Conmovedora historia que me hizo brotar una furtiva... Que Dios te siga bendiciendo
Ah, ok 👍🏿
Me conmovio su comentario, muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Pocos comentarios tan emotivos y gratificantes he leído en youtube. A veces, uno no agradece el poder tener y disfrutar de todos los sentidos. Un abrazo David !!
I attended a live performance of the Overture by the Naval Academy Orchestra in Annapolis, MD, when I was stationed there in 1984. And it included the cannons. A once in a lifetime performance!
It must have been an incredible experience!
This is the most magnificent version I have ever seen performed in my 65 years. Got bless the Orchestra and their Conductor!
I cant think of another song that makes you crave and yearn for the finale like this does, and then the satisfying dopamine rush it produces when it comes is pure bliss.
It’s crazy! I mean, I absolutely look forward the finale, but I’m always sad when the song ends!
@@TheChazaqingdude i do agree, an extended finale would be good!
The parts at 12:51 and 14:13 are the best
This music and The Grear Gate of Kiev
This orchestra is a perfect size, it's big enough to have a full "wall" of sound but small enough yet that the audience can see (and identify with) each musician
Truth
This is absolutely fantastic!! I have heard this played live at least 10 times, all of them with real cannons (I used to live close to a military base). But this is the first time I've ever heard the cannon operators properly line up the blasts with the music!
And as everyone has already said, those young people are shockingly good. And ah, the bells!!! So wonderful! I wish I could've been there. Freaking epic.
I cannot imagine how hard it was to get all the permits to play this in public like this, so I have to think that it might be the only time that some of these musicians will play it with the cannons and church bells like this. What a dream. I would've killed to be one of those french hornists. :)
how do they not have a heart attack at the cannons lol I would be scared and mess up 😂😂😂
One of the greatest songs ever written. It has stirred people's souls for 140 years. Well played!
What a performance and so much talented youth! The world would be a better place if today's youth had to participate in music and learn an instrument.
politicians cut music and arts across the board..they got better plans for budgets....not..
@sandwinder326 Unfortunately, my mother would not allow me to join the band in 7th grade. Her reason: she had taken my brother to summer practices all during high school, and by golly, she WASN'T GOING TO DO IT FOR ME! Many years later, I told her that I had scored the highest in our sixth grade class for musical aptitude. She never said a word. IT took a traumatic brain injury for me (at 52 yrs old) many yrs later for me to finally get a chance for voice lessons. The doctor said that the lessons wouldn't work to bring back my speaking voice (expressive aphasia), but as a science teacher and non cancerous brain tumor survivor( very large tumor), I knew that the brain could be rewired. It took my instructor and me several years, but not only could I sing and talk, but she had me singing the alto solos in Handel's Messiah!
@@monicaluketich6913 Very sad your mother prevented you from reaching your potential with your God given talent. Growing up in those times were different for sure as we're probably around the same age. But our parents learned from their parents and with each generation most parents try to do better. I absolutely love Handel's Messiah and it's a staple of my playlist every year starting at Thanksgiving. I fondly remember first hearing it at my grandparent's home and then my Dad would play it. I also remember many of the great traditional hymns. I was in the church choir in my very young years as a soprano but never went any further with it. How wonderful you're able to sing and share your talents and amazing music with others. You never know what child or adult you'll inspire in your performances.
I've loved rock 'n roll all my life, but not one piece has ever brought out the goose bumps. However, the 1812 Overture brings them out most of the time, & when I saw the bells begin twirling in this presentation, they simply exploded out of my skin.
There are not words to express how good this is. Cannons and a Bell Tower! Awesome! Edit: Just watched it again, had me in tears. So emotional, especially if you know the story behind it. Saw this live at a Concert in the Park, Auckland, about 16 years ago. NZSO and the Navy brought their cannons. Just wonderful.
Excelente interpretación de la overtura 1812 de Tchaikovski, me encantó, saludos cordiales desde la lejana Arequipa Perú 🇵🇪

I came here after watching the Flash Mob, thinking I recognized one of the Cellist and found it to be the same group. The audience woke-up and couldn't quit talking after the cannon firing, that was awesome along with the church bells was a great effect. Then seeing that one lady after that on the left rubbing her arms to get rid of the goose bumps told the story of this music even better. Great Performance!!

Wonderful performance and I'm making allowance for limitations in recording this truly memorable performance. I'm quite positive that those who attended this concert were enthralled from beginning to end. Even in 1882 Russia still celebrated their defeat of Napoleon and his Grand Armee Tchaikovsky putting to music the pathos of an age 70 years past.

I've seen this performed live 3 times and it's such an evocative piece of music, an absolute masterpiece bit this performance was wonderful. To be bale to co ordinate a full orchestra is itself an achievement but to then have to get the cannons and church bells to get in time is beyond excellent, I give this 5 stars (out of 5) and then an extra 2 for the cannons and bells. .
