Tchaikovsky: 1812 Festival Overture, Capriccio Italien (CD)
"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 Hurwitz
