Tchaikovsky : Overture 1812 (Full, Choral) (Sure, best version ever) - Ashkenazy*

- Famous and very realistic. The choral contributions are very spectacular and effective. And the cannons are as they should be: not blazing out the music ! This is not cannons with behind them overture 1812.This is 1812 with realistic Cannons!
In this transcription by American conductor Igor Buketoff the following changes and additions were made:
The opening segment, God Preserve Thy People is sung a cappella by a choir.
A children's or women's choir is added to the flute and cor anglais duet rendition of At the Gate, at my Gate.
The orchestra and chorus unite in the climax with a triumphant version of God Preserve Thy People and God Save the Tsar.

Out of curiosity, how are you doing?

this is indeed the "sure, best version ever". It's got the choir, the bells and the cannons at the full 16 minutes!

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.
God Bless

I shudder to think what my children will play in my memory....❤. You chose well, very well....

Usually "best ever" is a sure sign of clickbait hyperbole, but I must admit: this might really be the best version I've ever heard.

+TheJaredtheJaredlong The other versions with much more views are pretty underwhelming tbh. I knew Ashkenazy wouldn't disappoint.
+TacTundra This one's so underrated.
+TheJaredtheJaredlong I have to agree. Wow. Just wow.
+TheJaredtheJaredlong I absolutely agree with you, I listened several different versions of 1812, and this one is unbeatable.
The best part is between 0:00 and 16:10
I’ll give it a listen.
Yes this piece is awesome
funny guy ... but indeed, you are correct. This piece has been one of my favourites for decades, maybe one of my first real classical music ever heard. It remains on most top 10 all time classical lists. No surprise there.
I will have to go back and listen again! I would hate to miss the best part! More seriously though I believe this is the best version I have heard yet.

Is no one gonna talk about how the video’s images literally tells the story of the French invasion of Russia in 1812 the way that the song does?
thats exactly what I was thinking
The song is was meant to be a joke about the french
@@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.

I was privileged to be in a chorus on a Grammy nominated recording of this choral version made in 1996. I have preferred this version ever since that introduction to it. The chorus brings a richness to the piece I just love.

There's another choral version available on u tube. Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Well worth seeking out.
It adds to the instruments what they add to the people . Then cannons
Heard the choral version at a concert about 25 years ago. My favorite now.

Which battle Exactly? Battle of Leipzig?
@@andreavoigtlander1087 I believe it is the battle of Borodino, Leipzig was in 1813
@@andreavoigtlander1087 The song is about Borodino, where the above distinctly did not happen - the Russian forces were unable to wheel their right flank in a productive manner. 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. Maps are about half way down on wikipedia - but it is a fun "what if" moment if the Russians were capable of such coordination: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Borodino
The term “best version” is usually pure clickbait but this is genuinely worthy of that praise.
It is said that Tchaikovsky himself hate this song because "it is very loud and noisy"
Well...... what do you expect, Vlad? You use cannons and church bells in it
Dfathurr That’s not the point. Tchaikovsky was rarely satisfied with the works commissioned from him, and he did not consider this work to be one of his most important.
I have read that Dukas hated the Sorcerer's Apprentice and Ravel hated his Bolero. It's not unusual that works of composers and authors that they consider to be inferior become their most popular works.
Indeed he didn’t like but wrote it at advice of his mentor to get him Tchaikovsky noticed boy did it do that.
SONG?

For me this is the most 'visual' piece of music, when I hear the jaunty French theme I can picture the troops marching confidently into battle, then it all comes crashing down in that series of descending scales, then the reprise of the Russian theme, victory, cannons and bells...marvellous.
Goosebumps and disturbingly emotional whilst listening. What a composer. Never tire of listening to Tchaikovsky's compositions.

When thinking about the historical context involved in this great composition, you can easily conclude that it is the type of music that will give you goosebumps when listening to it….even if you’re not French or Russian.
This is really the best rendition of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

I found out about the choral version 5 years ago but before that I always thought the opening strings sounded like four part choir harmony. This might be the best version I’ve heard. I’ve never heard the cannons sound so good.
Same here, just found out the choral version now. Thank to paralightworx review :)
Причем хоровая партитура это церковное православное песнопение Кресту " Спаси Господи , люди твоя..." , А второе это гимн самодержавию: "Боже, царя храни...".

...I've never been a normal person.
Well actually . . . this makes you monumentally normal.
well, quite well, always so. (from italy) only shit is normal.
I understand you. Being a normal person is to be an "outsider" in these fucking times...
I'm the same way. Sometimes I listen to several versions in a night. It's extremely emotional. But Russians are a very emotional people. Their literature,their music....They know the human heart.
Witness Olga Kern's performance of Rachmaninoff's Third Piano concerto in the Van Cliburn 1991 competition @ Fort Worth Texas USA.
Hearing the right version makes such a difference in classical music. This is hands down the best version of 1812 ive ever heard. This song is the epitome of glory and calls of victory. Every time I hear it I feel a sense of triumph on a grandiose scale.
The chorus with the bells on background was overwhelming, a touch to the soul. Awesome version...
Wann lernen Menschen ,machen beim Gemetzel einfach nicht mehr mit.😇

Has anyone here ever played any musical instruments? *Tchaikovsky raises his hand* No Piotr, cannons are not an instrument.
In Mother Russia they are
In Russia, cannon play you.
scott clifton
Amen
Tchaikovsky wrote this on command of the Tsar - personally he hated it.
The guns he wrote in were/are 12-pounder "Napoleon" cannon, which - when fired - RING with a distinctive note, which he used to effect. This note/ring can be heard here on TH-cam with Civil War cannon. It's On Purpose and Musical; probably the one and only time.
Anything that makes a sound can be an instrument. Even if it's one note.
The guy who put this video together is pretty overlooked in the amount of detail he put into it. I've listened to this recording tons of times but never noticed that they actually put in the time to place graphical cannon fire with the music (among other nuances).

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.
I've loved this piece since I was a teenager. How is it I've never heard this choral version before?!
Exactly Same with me
Once you've had the 1812 with chorus, there's no going back. Xlnt visual accompaniment also, especially that last painting of Nappy looking tres disgruntled.
Well, he had nothing to be gruntled about...
I haven't heard this version in over 50 years... of course back then it was monaural on a gramophone ;-) very good...
I've been listening to this work since I was 18 (now I'm 62). I heard it in different versions. None looks like this. When I heard it, I ran to buy the album of this sublime and incomparable version. Thanks for the post.
Some people listen to Pachelbel's canon in the morning before work but as for me I will always listen to Tchaikovsky's cannon!
The "Best version ever..." claim is so commonplace on TH-cam, I tend to skip those links. Not only is this performance of the old "War Horse" singularly different and inspiring, the video is as well. Thank you!
PS: I was always a big fan of Ashkenazy as pianist, even more so lately as a conductor.
Funny, I always thought he was a much better pianist than conductor.
@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 !;)
I love the smell of gunpowder with my 1812.
remember remember, the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the 5th of November should ever be forgot.
its I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot
Mortato Doesnthaveasurname ah, damn, just looked it up. I had a lot of it off.

Yes it is.
This reminds me of the version I fell in love with when I was between 6 and 10 years old. Almost 50 years ago. I’m going to be 56 in March. This was the first serious piece of music with which I connected. One of the greatest. 100% passion.

I find it endlessly amusing that so many of my fellow Americans enjoy this piece on Independence Day, thinking it pertains to our War of 1812.
I mean, it's actually the same war. Just this is about Napoleon's Campaign in Russia. Meanwhile, we (allies of Napoleon) were trying to keep the British occupied with us in the New World.
The real problem here is that this song is celebrating the victory of our enemies in that war.
It doesn't sound distinctly Russian to the lay person's ear. That was part of my misconception anyway, that and the coinciding date.
@@craigschaffert People who know music just a bit can hear ex Russian anthem at the end easily and Orthodox bells. Some ears can recognise Russian folk songs in the middle of this piece (8:48). In fact among Russian composers Tchaikovskii wrote one of “most Russian music”

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.
как это гениально сделано...я каждый раз чуть не плачу слыша финальную хоровую песнь 13:35
Да)
warum der Westen immer Rußland vernichten will, statt friedlicher Koexistenz!
Truly the best version, period.
That's outstanding !
This overture is a music lovers dream !
This version is f g fantastic, it makes me emotional. Not only it's clean, loud, has choir and cannons in the background, they also sing the God save the Tsar. Awesome.

Aah, I see you are men of culture aswell.
Another victory by the mighty Caesar! Or, Tzar...
Came for this
Honestly it took me several months to find the actual version. I knew only the original but those version i# honestly a masterpiece!
My mama used to play the instrumental version. This haunts me. I'm glad to have found it. Thanks!
this moves me to tears...every time. love it!!!
It moves the Syrians to tears as Putin Liberates their land
They should play this when Aleppo is liberated.

Me too.
Je demeure absolument ébahi par cette majestueuse interprétation! Le petit caporal lui même s'en quitterait le bicorne en admiration, à l'entendre. Bravo et merci de la partager!
Elle est extraordinairement sublime.
C'est grandiose. La fin est majestueuse. Tous les superlatifs ne suffisent pas à qualifier ce chef-d'oeuvre magistral.
1) Wow, This is the 1st time I've ever heard it with choir... beautiful!
2) In the mid and late 1970s, I drove a hot looking '71 Camaro (metallic silver with a lift kit, wide tires, and chrome Cragars) and a very powerful sound system (for its time) which allowed me to throw open the doors and and use as an entertainment system for outside parties!
My cassette tapes were all rock, from Steely Dan to Lynyrd Skynyrd... that is, except for one cassette tape (which I have no idea how it ended up in my collection) of the 1812 Overture. While it wasn't a hit at parties, it became one of my most beloved musical possessions!
This is sure the best version ever. I have never heard this with a choir before and it is totally amazing. Love the pictures as well. Thank you for uploading this piece.
hopefully by this time we all understand Tchaikovsky is completely under rated for his work. A genius on par with other famous composers. this is a phenomenal rendering of his vision of 1812, in my opinion, and everyone must hear the Choral.... thank you for adding the historical facts, evaluation, and spirit of the message.
How is he underrated exactly? Tchaikovsky is in the top 10 of the most performed classical composers around the world, almost irregardless of the country.
It happens...some artists are not appreciated,valuated.
Lmao how is he underrated? He is for sure one of the most famous composers all around the world
Меня как русского человека эта увертюра трогает до самой глубины души, даже до слёз! Очень мощное и многогранное произведение, где умело переплетено множество музыкальных мотивов! Браво, Пётр Ильич!
Не самый удачный опус Петра Ильича...
a to cto na Ukraine vy proizvodite tebya ne trogaet ?
@@jurajvaclavik1485а почему это должно нас трогать? Самими скакали на майдане, сами развязали войну на Донбассе, а мы, видите ли, должны быть тронуты шизофренией щеневмерлых?!
@@jurajvaclavik1485 у тебя даже кирилицы нет ..ты отказался от всего!
Od kedy prvá križiacká vojna VYPLIENILA CARIHRAD a dve kresťanském cirkvy UVALILI na seba KLIATBU, ako rímskokatolíci, či aj PRAVOslávní, do dnešných časov si ešte NEODPUSTILI, a ty chumaj z česka, zmagorení uspešnou PROPAGANDOU, sa takto zbrecháš?! Prečo nejdeš bojovať za ukrajincov, z 50mil. národa je dnes iba 20mil.ľudí krajina. ZMätok...@@jurajvaclavik1485
If this fails to give you goosebumps then there is something wrong with you. WOW!!
I love this piece of music. I especially love the fact that Tchaikovsky, in the end, quite literally, blows the French national anthem to smithereens.
If someone were to say that classical music cannot be politically motivated, then I'd tell them this fact.
I cry when I listen to this version, the choral makes the best ever
What a powerful orchestra and choir 👏👏👏. 👏👏👏. Literally gave me goosebumps
12:00 The fun begins here
False. The fun begins at 0:00
8:45 favourite part
En 1988 (Decca Records) Vladimir Ashkenazy dirigió la Orquesta Filarmónica de San Petersburgo con los cañones y campanas de la fortaleza de Pedro y Pablo de San Petersburgo(A la sazón, Lenigrado), con el Coro de Cámara de San Petersburgo dirigido por Alexander Kazimirov y la orquesta Militar de Leningrado dirigida por Nikolai Ushapovsky.
Thank you so much for the info!
Quisiera vivir esa experiencia en México.
Tchaikovsky: hey tsar we need cannons for this cool project of mine-
Alexander I: *SAY NO MORE*
Learning the story of Borodino made this 100% more amazing for me
The chorale part is the Troparion (Collect) for Peace, from the Russian Orthodox liturgy. The tune comes back at the end 13:36 between La Marseillaise and 15:06 God Save the Tsar.
Indeed the best version! Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!
Had this on TAPE back in the day, lost it years back and couldn't remember it properly to find it again. Agreed, best version, played on the way home from work on Friday, at full volume.
Converter sentimentos e acontecimentos em música é algo que requereu genialidade e isso Tchaikovsky tinha.
