Over 200 years old and still to this day one of the greatest pieces of music ever created. The 6 people who disliked this video clearly don't know golden music when they hear it

[helloufoundmychannel]

This is possibly the most beautiful and greatest classical song of all time.

[jamesboone]

Shows you how powerful music is and always will be.

[jorgeespinoza]

Average dude: There's NO WAY a cannon could possible be considered as an instrument for an orchestra"
Tchaikovsky: "Hold my Vodka".

[xavimontagud]

"He was my father. And my mother.
My brother, my friend.He is you, and me. He was all of us"

[Ultra_instinct_uncle]

ON GOD WE ESCAPING THE CATACOMBS AND WAITING ON FOR THE BOAT WITH THIS ONE!🔥🔥🔥

[a.katherinesuetterlin]

I don't know which is more stirring--listening to this, or playing it. I played the French horn in college band, and we played the entire overture on one of our tours--gunshots in a barrel and everything! Ohh, the percussion section was in their element! 😁😁😁

[JonatasMonte]

"I'm telling you, I need an explosive device for this piece."

[Baileya]

The best version I’ve heard on YouTube...added brass, organ and guns—- Wow!

[andrewguest]

Who says classical music is boring hasn't listened to this epic

[dianemchugh]

I've just sent this clip to my son-in-law to play for my Daughter when she's nearing the end of her labour. Should be sometime today 🙌🏻

[clairelindemyer]

The people who disliked are jealous they cant play like that

[knottypine]

This song never fails to make me very emotional! Lets hear it heavy

[highnoon]

Ah, the cannon, the mannliest instrument. Closely followed by the organ with 128' stops

[pedrosaune]

"Classical music is relaxing and calming"
Me:

[andrewtaylor]

One of the silliest pieces ever written. Marvellously so!

[VodulinMyer]

"No one will ever forget that night and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man, and what he meant to me".

Love it, love it, love it! 1812 never gets old!

[nyujay]

Truly one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.

[wjrs]

It’s clearly a masterpiece. It speaks to triumph and those who haven’t a clue need to look up what happened in 1812.
