I'm 57 and had the great fortune of having my dad introduce me to this masterpiece when I was in my teens. Before he played it, he took the time to explain (passionately) the events that are supposed be represented by each section of the piece. For me, that made all the difference and to this day I can still remember the first time I heard it like it was yesterday. It is always an emotional experience. My dad is 86 now and we still enjoy this occasionally when we get together. Thank you dad for the incredible upbringing.

My dad did the same for me when I was a pre-teen! He also loved Cannonball Adderly, Lou Rawls and could build literally anything, all without a college degree: a very polymathic person, my dad! You're very blessed to still have your dad as mine passed eleven years ago from cancer.

I can't begin to try to understand what it must be like to hear this in your head and be able to write down all the little parts and pieces that make it whole. It's one thing to be able to see it and play it on an instrument but to come up with it new in your mind and put it all together to make it sound like it does.....would it be a curse or a blessing? A blessing to the listener for sure but to the creator? The one thing that I do know is that this music transcends time and cultures. I highly doubt that in 100 years anyone will care anything about pop, rock, rap or any other modern popular music but the Masters will still be heard world wide and strong as ever.

Its different for different composers but most compose pieces in parts with regular progression, except for the atonal ones like Scraibin and Sorabji who wrote a lot of pieces with no progression. Bach is the master of melody and you can very well see the progression in all Beethoven symphonies, its as evident as the sky (except for the 6th).

I have listened this magnificent overture thousands of times over the past 50 years and never get tired of it! This performance was outstanding!!

I first heard this piece when I was about 12 years old, living in Colorado Springs on the 4th of July at Memorial Park. From that moment, I've loved classical music, and this piece will always be my number one. BTW, I'm 60 years old now.

Quedo sin palabras cada vez que escucho esta obra maestra. No puedo evitar que las lágrimas afloren por la emoción que genera cada movimiento de esta pieza musical.

Ever time I listen to Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, I just feel happy inside filled with musical emotion.

I've watched this video at least 50 times and it still give me chills every time. Absolutely stunning performance ❤

I tried not to cry and miserably failed. What beautiful, heart warming, exciting performance! The orchestra, the maestro, audience, the fires. PERFECT!

It reminds me so much to my father, he passed away 21 years ago and he loved Tchaikovsky, and, for sure, this overture ❤

what is it about music that affects the human soul so much?.......this presentation was masterful.

Quel plaisir de voir ce peuple néerlandais qui apprécie autant la belle musique classique. On les sent tellement en osmose avec l.orchestre. Splendide et émouvant.

Pyotr Tchaikovsky, thank you for being there!

Never ever fails to make me tear up. What a rendition.

Tchaikovsky is a pure genius, my idol 💓💓💓💓

I almost crying.. what a magical!

Truly a brilliant and spectacular performance of a masterpiece ❤

This was the first time I actually cried listening to a performance. Amazing! Thank you.

I've long been a lover of the 1812 ... I think I just found my most favourite performance. Thanks to AVROTROS for this. Naturally congratulations to all of the musicians and the conductor, but also to the video and sound teams who captured it and brought it here! Thanks you seems so little ...

I can still remember the privilege of hearing the 1812 Overture performed live at the Antietam Battlefield National Park, it was performed by The Maryland Symphony Orchestra accompanied by live cannons and local church bells. It was in the latter half of the 1980s.

How lucky were the good people of Amsterdam to attend this wonderful performance of the 1812. Having lived in that great City, I am very familiar with the Prinzengracht, but I was absent when this concert took place.

Magnifica interpretación al aire libre por esta prestigiosa orquesta neerlandesa dirigida por el inglés de origen italiano Antonio Pappano de esta espectacular Obertura 1812 compuesta por el legendario compositor ruso P.I.TChaikovsky. BRAVO !!! Saludos desde España.

I'm a professional musician, have been so many years. Rock, country, blues, jazz... thats the stuff I tend to like, follow, play, write and record. I've never been a follower of classical music. I may never be. But if anyone, anytime, ever were to ask me what my single all time favorite piece of music is, it would be this. No remotely close second. I am referring to the composition itself, not this performance (which as of itself is splendid). Tchaicovsky's 1812 overture - its beauty, atmosphere, raw power and aggression, emotional impact, and sheer brilliance through its dynamics and perfect chord progressions, all amount to the closest to harmonic and melodic perfection in a musical composition one may ever get to experience. Kudos Pyotr. 🎵

Here's the Power of Music like never seen before and after! God Bless Tchaikovsky's soul for so much contribution to humanity's joy!

Thank you very much for posting of a joyous gathering of people just enjoying the moment, all to rare these days.

An awesome performance. These musicians are real pros the way they played this piece. The woman playing the solo flute, and the man playing the solo oboe played their parts perfectly. I've listened to another symphony orchestras play the 1812 Overture, and while they did a good job, it was sort of lacking in the lively robust quick tempo the way his orchestra plays it. I imagine this music wouldn't be easy to play either. They all deserved a standing ovation.

Внучке 7 лет. Она первый раз была в консерватории, послушала мое любимое произведение. Я думала она не выдержит. Она сказала : бабушка еще пойдём на Чайковского? Хотя перед этим мы ходили на Штрауса. Но Чайковский ей запал больше.я очень рада!

La Obertura histórica 1812 de Tchaikovski ofrece un fuerte contraste con su música romántica ,a los que nos tiene acostumbrada esta maravilloso compositor !!
