Free Music Review: Beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
I owned the original record version. It saw better days, but when I saw the CD version, I hesitated, since some productions don't have the same depth as the album. This does, with great clarity. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra's version of the Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture I think, with the canons is the best version of all. Don't hesitate to buy this, you won't be disappointed.
Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture/Capriccio Italien/Beethoven: Wellington's Victory Poster
It's hard to believe that this, the BEST EVER 1812 Overture was not only recorded in the 1950s, but it still sounds better than any other version. This last fact is a tribute to the remastering expertise of producer Wilma Cozart Fine, and a still greater tribute to her late husband, a recording genius, for leaving her with such fantastic quality original tapes to work with. If you want real cannon, the sound of a zillion bells, and a really sensational brass band, all perfectly blended together to produce the ultimate in audio spectacle, then baby this one's for you. Wellington is, if anything, even noisier--though a lot less valuable musically. Still, it's the only logical coupling, and every single cannon blast and musket shot comes over with thrilling immediacy. What a disc! --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
