1812!

[CaliHwyPatrol]

Hey peeps, It's been a while since I've been on here!! Anyway, I've been looking for a good version of the 1812 overture (finale) in 2 channel. I did a search and all the threads had the SACD version, and I don't have SACD. I had a version of it on Mad About the Orchestra or something that I swiped from my parents, but it sucks! So any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

~Chuck

Do a search on Amazon, music: http://www.amazon.com/Tchaikovsky-Overture-Other-Orchestral-Works/dp/B00005AQ38/sr=1-9/qid=1161624167/ref=sr_1_9/002-6513822-4373621?ie=UTF8&s=music

Yah, I'm sure there are a billion different ones out there. I was wondering if anyone actually knew of one that's good. I'd rather not buy 50 cds of the same thing to get the right recording.

Here are a couple for your consideration:

Artist: Erich Kunzel/ Cincinnati Pops Orchestra/ Kiev Symphony Orchestra
Recording: Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture:The New Recording
Release# CD-80541

If you have a turntable and can find the record, the vinyl version (the original release) is an audiophile standard and can also function as a test record-very few cartridges can track the final grooves that contain reall cannon shots recorded at Baldwin-Wallace college near Telarc's home base in Cleveland.

Another great recording by one of the best composers on the Living Stereo label. Finding this on vinyl is a bit more challenging!

That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for! Thanks!

Vinyl... What's that? Haha, I've never owned a turntable, I'm too young.

You're never to young for vinyl-just ask my 23 year old son, who is adding his own vinyl acquisitions of new artists to the family collection and loves to listen with me to my eclectic collection.
