Leningrad Philharmonic 1812 Overture

Performance of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture by the Leningrad Philharmonic during the worldwide celebration of Tchaikovsky's 150th birthday.

[@dmitrikokotov3628]

i was there.... best concert ever....

[@tuckergw1]

Maestro Yuri Temirkanov is simply the greatest conductor of the last half-century. No discussion.

[@Ivanofficial52]

I just wish I could visit any of his concerts. His last one was in 2021 I think and he died in November 2023. Hole people never forget this great conductor

[@MASCARIOCO]

Absolutely. And this one is the best 1812 to be found anywhere. Memorable.

[@3fgburner]

This concert was from several years ago -- 1990. I met the concussionist, Paul Barnett, at an 1812 performance a few years later in Virginia. He said that this was one of the more memorable ones for him, because he was freezing outside and had to listen to the concert on headphones, to get the timing right. He pretty much memorized the distances from guns to orchestra for all the major concert venues in the US that did "1812".

[@davidmilne5113]

[@eunpark40]

I think so.!!!!!♥

[@TeensTakeOnWorld]

Im proud to be a 13 yeaar old boy and not only like this song, but listen to it on my ipod

[@wolframg1]

Nobody better than Russlands by performing Tchaikovsky music.

[@RobertDeMiedo]

OF COURSE!

[@beadsstitcher]

MY GOD, HAVE MERCY ON ME. IF THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE IN HEAVEN, I WANT TO GO THERE. BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE, I HAD GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS. MANY,MANY STARS.

[@lisafiddler01]

Well. This is a great performance of the overture! I enjoyed it quite well up to 13.39. And, then at that point, when the bright brass choir standing in the balcony loft began to play, I was astounded. Such heart! And, when the finale began right before the cannon let loose, the tempo was slower than I've heard before. VERY powerful and insightful! I'm a "hardened" professional violinist and, let me tell you, I had tears streaming down my cheeks at the end. Thank you for posting it!!!!

[@DrMarianus]

Some irony here, especially when the Red Army band is playing "God save the Czar" towards the end. This was recorded just before the fall of communism. Leningrad is now called its original name, St. Petersburg.

[@user-il9hb8us1h]

Петроград ещё кстати

[@michaelnp2323]

I find this performance to be absolutely remarkable, beautiful, excellent, fantastic! I must confess that I can not find the right words. Magnificent performance of a great composer. I am not a 'feinschmecker' in classic music, but Tchaikovsky is one of the best I have ever heard.

[@chinesebiblewordswithce8214]

Such a shame that one of the greatest performances of one of the greatest pieces of music in the world only has 165k views, while nonsense tiktoks are receiving millions of views...

[@eunpark40]

I was deeply moved by this performance!!!!♥

[@damadeferroartes1102]

This, is the best version of all i've heard! BRAVO!

[@click53]

I grew up with a Father, a fine Officer and pilot, career officer...and quite a lover of classical music. This was his favorite, and I can still visualize this tall, gentle, commanding man, rise and conduct, as any fine conductor would dream to do. He was good, and that look of peace and sorrow and joy! Poor Mama used to swear that's how she lost her hearing. Then she'd watch and love Him...just like me! This one's for you, Daddy.

[@i8trendies]

Thank you for this one of the best performances of this i have seen. Superb

[@teribaker0363]

This is one of my favorites to listen at any time!! It is beautiful especially with canon fire at the end!!

[@_Merovingio]

one of the greatest performances I have ever seen, thanks for sharing it

[@RIGIBBONS]

Bravo! Bravo! May I always hear this magnificent piece performed by a Russian orchestra! Thank you!

What a wonderful performance! Really amazed!

[@yalinchai]

BEST VERSION I HAVE EVER LISTEN TO!!!

[@Floren1954]

Genial director, extraordinaria orquesta, maravilloso Tchaikovsky. Música sin fronteras. Leí hace años, que durante el durisimo invierno de 1943, durante el sitio a que Leningrado fue sometida por los nazis, semanalmente los profesores de la orquesta llegaban puntualmente a su cita a la sala de conciertos, en ruínas, sin techumbre y con el patio y palcos completamente cubiertos de nieve. Ateridos de frío y muertos de hambre, como su ferviente, vencieron la adversidad. Saludos desde España.

Yuri Temirkanov makes this piece sound really dynamic and melodious. Enjoying this interpretation the most so far.

[@StephenCrump423]

Those red army horns coming in on the balcony playing o lord save thy people moves me to tears instantly

[@eunpark40]

Best of best performance !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aureliobragarubisRubis]

espetacular, sensacional, maravilhoso, lindo, viva a musica clássica

[@mizzato]

Imponente, espectacular, hermoso.

[@vitriolix]

Amazing. When the military brass band came in in the balconies I lost it.

[@tricorntom2254]

I credit Arthur Fiedler for bringing this piece into the American musical tradition, as the prelude to our fireworks in Boston, down by the Charles river, every year, complete with the thundering, closing cannonade.But Fiedler was always a bit to aggressive with the opening cellos... Here, Yuri Termirkanov really gets the subtlety of the delicate, soft string opening of the theme, to set up the stark contrast with its thundering crescendo. You can see it on his face, and in his hands as the piece begins... He got it right.... Bravo, Yuri!!!

[@paolonostini3693]

Nell'ouverture 1812 non so 'se i fuochi d' artificio nascono dall'intenzione del compositore così l'uso dei cannoni, e delle campane , una variante e' l'uso iniziale del coro piuttosto che degli archi, ma stupefacente gli effetti che si sentono quando vengono amalgamati. Un capolavoro

[@user-oz2cw1kp5c]

この曲聞いているときが、私の中で最も有意義な一時。

[@mhanda6657]

the best overture evere composed

Love this, one of the violists looks Peter Sellers lol!

[@naverilllang]

Wonderfully done. I wish the cannons came through a bit more though.

[@starcraftguy1]

I have this on VHS and play it with speakers loud.

this music should have a top comment

[@markwardprodking]

well without being crass like that other person, it's very very good. very tight, but it WAS a little fast. But nationalism is nationalism. But the sound recording was a little wanting and the camera angles a little weird...I guess that's Russia for you. That being said, Jessye Norman, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo-Ma...I wish I could have been there!!!! Brilliant! Bravo!

[@michaelgarrigan1997]

what irony.....the overture was written for the dedication of the cathedral of the most holy redeemer in moscow.., it finishes with being about russian victory over french invaders

[@mikhailivanov912]

ReinaDeCorazon3s Shhh...silencio. Deje disfrutar la música fuera de todo comentario Político.

[@ReinaDeCorazon3s]

Mauro ALejandro DIaz Deslindar el sonido de la obertura 1812 de la política es un acto de ignorancia. Los cañones finales no son por obra y gracia de la naturaleza, sino para celebrar la caída de un pseudo-imperio (político).

[@paolonostini3693]

Interessante ouverture, credo che nessun altro compositore abbia potuto comporre un capolavoro cosi forse nemmeno immaginata, non ha sicuramente una parte di pregio, altre composizioni meritano la medaglia, tra beethoven, lizst, e altri questa ouverture e' un chicco di riso, tuttavia particolare per l'uso singolare intanto dei cannoni, per non parlare delle campane, per quanto riguarda le trombe, non e' di uso comune, neanche il coro, messi assieme esaltano l'effetto.

[@russelhavard7818]

it was slow at first, and then wooshh, the tension

[@tegarachsendo9730]

is it just me? i think that the opening is slower than usual..
