Alot of people think this song is about America's war of 1812. However, Tchaikovsky was definitely Russian. He wrote 1812 Overture to commemorate Napoleans defeat in Russia.
Noah Thornburg lol just because it has the year 1812 in it doesn't mean it's the war of 1812 and why would a Russian Mae a orchestra about an American war
Nobody thinks its about America. You can clearly hear La Marseillaise(French Anthem) and God save the Tsar. I appreciate music & art regarless of nationality.
Wow! This video shows the most perfectly timed explosions to go with the great 1812 Overture than I have ever seen. July 4th is not complete for me until I listen to the whole 1812 Overture. I love its peaceful beginning. This is definitely the "money shot" though. Great job Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and Conductor Perry! Now, I will listen to the Overture in its entirety.
Wow... Increible. Hermoso! No me alcanzo a imaginar cómo se sentiría el maestro Tchaikovsky al ver este digno homenaje de su obra. Sencillamente Espectacular.
Story through music (finale) bells & Orthodox hymn about people praying, French march (Napoleon retreating from Russia) then God Save the Tsar (Russian Empire). But however play Tachaikovsky's 1812 Overture it's about people praying & victory.
@Bingo1059 ..and also. It's because music knows no boundaries. No culture. No affiliation with political standpoint. And no nationality. It should be enjoyed by everyone who shares the same sentiments.
This is NOT about the American War of 1812, nor is it about the Chinese, nor "French Ass Kicking". It is about the defeat of Napoloeon at the hands of the Russians in 1812, due more to the harsh Russian winters than the overmatched Russian army. Do some research.
Didn`t Napoleon and Hitler know that there are winters in Russia? As for French army - they can fight only with bare assed natives in Africa. They capitulated in 10 days in 1940 and are winners in WW2 . Why? Yugoslavs had more rights to be winners than French
Mickey Laszkiewicz No winter approach Russian victory so how the army's leader does it with his tactics and the army does it completing it. Kutusov had to surrender Moscow to Napoleon because he knew that this way Russian army would be save and able to get more power for make Napoleon's army going away from Russia. Otherwise, if Russian army tried with all the powers to not to make surrendering Moscow possible, it could be lost. Yes, Stalin acted vice versa, but he used other opportunities being in the other situation... And the victories of Russians wouldn't be possible without the heroes who defended Russia bravely and selflessly.
not that diminishing racist western bullshit about "General Frost" again... Napoleon took Moscow in fucking SEPTEMBER, and his army was ALREADY decimated to this point. the losses from the winter were on his RETREAT. who the fuck made him to retreat, I wonder?
@Bingo1059 You realize that Tchaikovsky composed this. he was RUSSIAN and composed it for a festival commemorating the 1812 battle between the armies of France and Russia. the Americans have just as much right to use this as the Chinese. in fact, America caused Russia more trouble by freeing Napolean by diverting the British in the war of 1812.
@Bingo1059 Thought this was an account of the 1812 battle between France, led by Napoleon, and Russia where the French army of over half a million were successful in sacking Moscow only to be defeated by the cold weather, much to the celebration of the God loving Russians who sees this as a divine intervention.
@Bingo1059 Culture is not defined by its national boundary lines. What would you say about native-american culture? The "apaches" or the "tupis" - in South America - had no notion of something as a "nation". Finally, there is much more to culture than music. Actually, the language itself is much more important than music.
@Bingo1059 Cultures influence the type of music. It defines it but it is not the culture itself. If your argument is to be taken, then what you're trying to say is that other cultures have no right to play a certain piece because it's not their culture and that it unsettles people? That the chinese people, despite being in a country that has yet to be in a democracy, cannot be given the right to play this piece just because of that reason?
Alot of people think this song is about America's war of 1812. However, Tchaikovsky was definitely Russian. He wrote 1812 Overture to commemorate Napoleans defeat in Russia.
not France. Russian national anthem with russian words- " Боже царя храни" God save the char".
Виталий Троев Both the French(the Marseillese) and the Russian(God save the Tsar) are played this is about the Napoleonic invasion on Russia
Noah Thornburg lol just because it has the year 1812 in it doesn't mean it's the war of 1812 and why would a Russian Mae a orchestra about an American war

Тупые иностранцы ,историю не знают
I can't imagine how hard it must have been for those musicians to keep playing with stuff exploding on top of them. Brilliant performance.
It goes along with the beat so I doubt the musicians were even flinching.
This is one of the most spectacular, beautiful performance for peace!!! Good job! Orchestra & Fireworkers!
I want this finale played at the end of my funeral
I hope you enjoy it :) Let me know
Jguy365. Good idea!
And shiot you out in the 16th shot.
2:30 the rhythm of those fireworks, epic
They fit perfectly with the timings
This is the kinda thing that you watch, and it makes you happy just to be alive. So beautiful.
Goosebumps.
the synchronized fireworks make a nice touch.
i love the 1812, particularly when it is done with actual cannons.
I literally just cried.
Creepy. Cringeworthy. Get help
Beautiful

看錄影也可以這樣精彩, 現場觀看相信會更加好看。謝謝你的上載, 讓我可以回味那天震撼的情景!!!
I just loved this piece, utterly brilliant, and I've lit a few 1812's in my time.
Story through music (finale) bells & Orthodox hymn about people praying, French march (Napoleon retreating from Russia) then God Save the Tsar (Russian Empire). But however play Tachaikovsky's 1812 Overture it's about people praying & victory.
Fantastic piece of music, awesome to watch!

If I start saving money now, perhaps I can hire thos guys for my birthdayparty :)
So we went from 1812 overture with no cannons to 1812 overture with cannons, then 1812 overture with fireworks. What's next? Nuclear arsenal?
4 people got hit with the fireworks
V would be proud.....

I have no idea why this comment was flagged as spam. Brilliant movie. One of my favorites.
Китайцы знают о смысле победы
Да прибудет с вами сила
masterpiece
perfect timing
wonderful
EPICNESS BEGINS - 2:38
@luisir2 Those are also computer-generated for perfection. I'd say this is done pretty damn well for real-life fireworks set to live music.
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Это было круто! Китайцы молодцы!

Tears
光復香港 時代革命 I look forward to the day when you can play in free Hong Kong. 😍
Bravo!!!
single manly tear
This is NOT about the American War of 1812, nor is it about the Chinese, nor "French Ass Kicking". It is about the defeat of Napoloeon at the hands of the Russians in 1812, due more to the harsh Russian winters than the overmatched Russian army. Do some research.
Due to brilliant strategic talent of Kutuzov. Do some research.
+bckm54 ...that was french ass kicking... By the Russian winter.
Didn`t Napoleon and Hitler know that there are winters in Russia? As for French army - they can fight only with bare assed natives in Africa. They capitulated in 10 days in 1940 and are winners in WW2 . Why? Yugoslavs had more rights to be winners than French
Mickey Laszkiewicz No winter approach Russian victory so how the army's leader does it with his tactics and the army does it completing it.

not that diminishing racist western bullshit about "General Frost" again...
Napoleon took Moscow in fucking SEPTEMBER, and his army was ALREADY decimated to this point. the losses from the winter were on his RETREAT. who the fuck made him to retreat, I wonder?
It's the 1st of July to Hong Kong people.
hong kong is a my city...its a great city.
@iter68
you are right, i think the the timing of the fireworks is not march with the music.......
those in V for Vendetta is much better.
LOOK AT DAT CONDUCTOR!!
Who in 2020?
sorprendente en verdad!
Fireworks guy: How many mine shells do you want?
Event Guy: Yes
Firework guy: ...

And wow
He was Edmond Dantès...

Magnánimo!!!!

Wow
Remind me of V for vendetta
Just missing the canons now
When the fireworks make a V
That was crazily in sync. (Y)
better with cannons, but still good.
Look at all those V´s :)
Sensacional!!!!!!! Espetacular!!!!!!!!
I'm from hong Kong and they used real guns
Btw just nuke down hongkong instead jk
有都係解放軍開嘅炮啦
And people are complaining that Eminem's concerts have too many gun sounds!

@rviolinfiddle55 yeah i was kinda thinkin that too
Great sound...a lil bouncy...but good
I doubt if it was real ammunition though.
I don't think they quite did it justice. Too fast at the end, needs to be more triumphant... but the pyrotechnics were very impressive.
why is it the chinese and japanese are good at music and here in america we get a bunch of damn office workers
??Its like watching V for Vendetta :) nice
my skin!
