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".

In my opinion ths is one of THE BEST executions... Is just beutiful

The opening so beautiful

Man the Russians shure know how to make the classics

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!!!!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Nobody better than Russlands by performing Tchaikovsky music.

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

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...

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

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.

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

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

Il grandissime Maestro dell monde!! Das ist DAS Konzert!!👍🌷🩵

BEST VERSION I HAVE EVER LISTEN TO!!!

this one of best,The Lenningrad is great! Take these music and play it load and wake up the death show them how great music can be. so turn it up and injoy

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

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.

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

Beautiful.. great performance.. Merci.. thank you so Much Maestro.. FA

I feel it in my bones.

Beautiful ! Great performance and staging !!

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

A lot of thanks for your publication. It was amazing. I'm withouth words, it is perfect. Grettings from Chile

What a wonderful performance! Really amazed!

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!!!

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

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

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

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

BRAVO !...BRAVO !....

Fabuloso, excelente. Simplemente espectacular

¡¡Es magnética, eriza la piel!!

Imponente, espectacular, hermoso.

Good solid volume of brass as well volume as a whole

Sin palabras... sencillamente IMPRESIONANTE !!

Végre jók a tempók. Hja. Saját zenéjük. Like.

Happy bi-centennial of the war of 1812 - in both North America and Europe!! :) What a perfect way to celebrate, listening to this wonderful masterpiece that rings and echoes of glorious victory, while also commemorating those who have nobly fallen. Brilliant!

Superb Greetings from Canada

この曲聞いているときが、私の中で最も有意義な一時。

impresionante !!!!

"Es demasiado fuerte y ruidosa, la escribí sin ninguna gota de cariño ni amor, por lo tanto no tendrá ningún mérito artístico". - Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

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

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

The red army playing “God save the Tsar” is very moving.

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

telark disks has a cd of the berlin philharmomic performing this....it's worth checking out also

bravo！

Precioso *.*

Gotta give it up for their hometown boy 🎉

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

When there are more performers than the audience

❤️

Good art doesn't gets older. I'm a Brazilian and I live in Brazil.

can one BUY either a CD of THIS orchestra or a DVD of this performance. I WOULD be most important in buying both actually. this particular piece deeply moves me. any 411 appreciated. thanks

Genial

👍

For a better experience put the video in 1.25 speed. Your welcome

Google served me a grammarly advert at about 14:35

this music should have a top comment

What orchestras are playing the 1812 in 2012? Not much time left!

うつくしい

"From Russia WIth Love" *****

Who is the lady playing flute at 9:31?

Soberbo!!!!

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

Outstanding. 😂

😱

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.

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

Somebody has in better quality?

6:26, did the violins just miss their cue by dat small bit??

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!

Real Cannon ooooh

Napoleón, fuiste la burla del mundo... Jamás pudiste conquistar Rusia, y solo conseguiste que tu imperio se terminara de venir abajo. Viva la madre patria Rusia!

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