Another subject I have very little knowledge of.

I just "know what I like" as they say.

The first Classical Album I bought was 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky), a version that had 1812 on one side, and Capricio Italien on the other.

1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky)

My favorite loud music in a small space is Tchaikovsky Overture 1812 performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, nothing like a cannons roar over Bose speaker in the cab of your car. If you are not familiar with it most peole do recognize the last three minutes where actual cannons are used

One of the LESS memorial parts of High School (only first year I think?).. was MUSIC once a week. I remember only two things... two albums played to us... the 1812... version with explanation of recording the cannon.. and Holst - The Planets.

I did later buy the vinyl album of 1812.. same as the one played in school... my first "classical" album I think.

Quote:
Antal Doráti's 1954 Mercury Records recording with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, partially recorded at West Point, and using the Yale Memorial Carillon in New Haven, Connecticut, uses a Napoleonic French single muzzleloading cannon shot dubbed in 16 times as written. On the first edition of the recording, one side played the Overture and the other side played a narrative by Deems Taylor about how the cannon and bell effects were accomplished.


NATURALLY... it is what I posted to open this "Classical" thread

I know little.. but like lots of classical music... I need educating if anybody is more knowledgeable and wants to post music and comments in this thread

Funny that is the same composition that you used to start the thread. I don't know anything about classical music other than what I like :)

I had a horrific music teacher who said "as such" about 100 times a day in a 50 minute class, I used to put my head down and try to block everything out fort that 50 minutes so I learned very little.
