1812 overture live at red square Moscow, with cannons!

The people who got the seats directly under the cannons probably wondered why everything suddenly went silent.

Try watch the way the US Army Band does it. It is a tradition at many US Army bases they perform that as finale to fireworks show on Fourth of July with Howitzer cannons going off. The one at Schofield Barracks on island of Oahu in Hawaii does it the best, and yes, the cannons truly are BADASS, you got that CORRECT!!!!

Apparently the tzar was the one who insisted on cannons as Tchaikovsky felt the piece stood well on its own.

No, the mobile phone dampened the sound when over-loaded. it is called autogain to prevent audio-distortion

Even with a professional audio recording setup it is not easy to capture the extreme dynamic range. For a mobile phone, its pretty good.

[@MaxJanowiczSawicki]

@@Bosco_the_Historian Tsar resigned after he attempted to dissolve the parliament in the result of mass anti-war protests, and provisional government with Kerensky took over. Soviets just arrested ministers and overthrew the provisional government, after Kerensky gave them guns to protect Petrograd from Kornilov forces, so it was a betrayal situation basically, but Soviets shot Tsar and his family not to allow the White Army to capture them, and give them a chance to restore monarchy in case of the Reds defeat. Pardon for giving a history lesson lol, just wanted to clear some things out, since it's a pretty common misconception.

[@ELDaemon66]

@@MaxJanowiczSawicki It is worth adding that the Tsar abdicated not just as a result of an uprising, but as a result of a conspiracy led by high-ranking officials, the elite and the high command of the armed forces. In fact, Nicholas was betrayed by his inner circle, which organized a coup d'etat at such a difficult time for the country, which in fact ruined the empire.

Glad to find a version where cannons play in right time :D But we can't be too harsh on these players ... not many conservatories teach you how to play cannons right.

[@aparioss1072]

I think there s something wrong with the audio recorder; its overcompensating/calibrating at every cannon shot, making the sound quieter right after each

[@Atalla2008]

It was a Samsung Galaxy , so yeah,...it really did tweak the sound at those moments

[@Atalla2008]

It's a natural setting of the mobile phone ;-)

The Household Cavalry were, away on active duty. Our regiment had been chosen to, stand in, to cut it short. They were to, fire their, 105 pack Howitzers. (one of my favourite Guns.
