Church Bells with Russian Orthodox hymn and God save the Tsar is awesome. Whoever play American or not, we must agree that it is about Victory.

Для любопытных, либретто этого отрывка увертюры (слова, которые исполняет хор):
"Спаси, Господи, люди Твоя,  
И благослови достояние Твое,  
Победы борющимся за веру правую и святую Русь 
На сопротивныя даруя,  
И Твое сохраняя Крестом Твоим жительство. 
Боже, царя храни!
Сильный, державный,
Царствуй на славу, на славу нам!"

[Querens]

OMG Americans, tsars of performance. I haven't seen this piece being played more spectacular. Hats off

[mrssimba]

I love this Amazing ''1812 Tchaikovsky Overture''. Thank you for sharing. It was a spectacular concert!

[wren]

Yeaa, the old Russian anthem "God, save the Tsar' for the Americans :-D

[willygarcia]

The music is incredible, it can link different ideologies, different towns and nations. This music was composed by Tchaikovsky in honor to the victory of his Russian nation against the tyranny and ambitious of Napoleon.

I got to see this two years in a row a decade ago... Brought tears to my eyes.

[brucedyball]

Incredible! I've seen this performed live, and it raises the hair on your arms. Love it!

what ever! I remember my father bringing the record home from New York City in the 1950s and he played it for my family 6 brothers and 1 sister and I Love this forever (the whole song of course) )!Tchaikovsky was a Great composer >>Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born on May 7, 1840, in Kamsko-Votkinsk, Vyatka, Russia. He was the second eldest of his parents' six surviving offspring. Tchaikovsky's father, Ilya, worked as a mine inspector and metal works manager. "Rest in Peace" Great man

Loved fireworks most of my life
Found this piece of music when I was an early teen

Absolutely in love with the fact that canons are literally one of the instruments and that when given a right performance, so are the fireworks 💙

[APTEM_Me]

I thought it was a joke, but really Americans sing the Russian anthem of the 19th century, when they celebrate Independence Day

[nickclark]

Of course, US liked Russian Empire after all we got a very good deal on buying Alaska from the Tsar Alexander II only $7.2 million. We are loyal customers.

[jawhi]

The guys firing the canons had the most fun 😂

[HarmonicaGuitar]

2:31 Real funny. Anthem of the Russian Empire sounds on US independence day :) "God Save the Tsar!".

[GradislavT]

Спасибо за исполнение. С любовью из Великой России
