My dad would play this out of the loudspeaker he had built in our backyard (connected to our record player), every July 4th. How loud he played it depended on how many beers he'd had lol. Great memories, since no one ever physically attacked him for it (thank God!).
This brings me back to my childhood. My mother had one of those big stereos with 3 foot speakers. I remember she made me sit and listen to this and listen to the cannons in particular and she'd be so hype. In hindsight, this gave her strength, you could see how much she loved this. My mother passed away last year and listening to this is really taking me back.

Now over 30 years later, listening to this gives me a similar joy because of those memories.
In 1970, at age 18, I made my first trip to Europe. On a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon in June, the London Philharmonic Orchestra played the entire suite in Hyde Park, with actual cannons. There's no one like the British when it comes to pomp and circumstance, and boy, did they! There was some sort of a Royal Guard on horseback, parading around the Park. It was a sight and sound I'll never forget....this Waco girl was struck speechless....and that's saying something. Simply one of the greatest pieces of classical music EVER...
"Tchaikovsky, why did you write cannons into your composition?" "They sound good." "They're instruments of WAR!" "Aha, but they are instruments none the less!"
In the mid 90's at Ft. Hood, Texas, I was at the July 4th celebration at the sports stadium on post. They used M109 self-propelled artillery during the cannon portion of the Overture. It deafened us and set off every car alarm within 300 yards. Magnificent!

Tchaikovsky doesn't just drop the beat, he launches it directly at the audience out of a M777A2 155mm medium towed howitzer.
Oh the triple 7, pure joy.

I found my father’s album collection at around 6 years old and loved the albums artwork. I put it on the player and I was done! I loved it so much and probably played it 50x or more. Then I found “Peter and the Wolf” - same thing. It was so audibly and mentally captivating. It ran my imagination wild. That was fifty years ago and it never loses its verve and power!
