I like this. Anything that celebrates the French getting a good shafting, is good in my eyes.......or ears.

I don't usually carry a firearm but when I do, it's a cannon.

I always rate this piece and I've heard many a version, on the effectiveness of the cannon fire near the end. On some it is just a dull thumping on a big base drum. On others it's an armour piercing round that crack from the cannons muzzle, then scream in terrifying stereo effect through the head and crash in splinters and shrapnel on the other side. This version is nearer the big base drum end. Still quite good with the bells though.

Adding the live cannon fire in place of the drums was BRILLIANCE! This is like 19th Century Heavy Metal.

The true brilliance of this and other classical pieces... is when the music can tell a story without using words. 1812 Overture celebrates Russia's defeat of Napoleon's army. Listen and you can hear the drama, battles, horses, and eventual victory!
