1812 overture live at red square Moscow, with cannons!

The great finale of the Moscow Festival Spassky Gate 2017: 1812 overture with cannons and fireworks!

[@geigertec5921]

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!!!!

There's a composer called Mahler who often used hammers as an instrument.

[@calenskyes]

Tchaikovsky: I'm gonna need your artillery. Alexander III: Why? Tchaikovsky: It's a surprise tool that will help us later.

[@petemccarthy6403]

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

[@ordalis]

"maestro the cannons are playing offbeat"

[@Atalla2008]

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

[@Tocsin-Bang]

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

[@Bosco_the_Historian]

It was the Soviets who did that over a century ago, these people are their descendents that's playing it which have nothing to do with the revolution. Plus its great music, so who cares?

[@RevsAndWheels]

@@Bosco_the_Historian I know it's great music and I was just joking

[@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.

[@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 ;-)

[@psjesse117]

It's probably just echo, Red Square is gigantic

[@SVENY]

thats called autogain, microphones do this to avoid audio distortion.

[@sfinx121]

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.

[@DungNguyen-jf4in]
