Ouvertüre «1812»

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & התזמורת הפילהרמונית הישראלית & Leonard Bernstein

Ouvertüre «1812» is an orchestral overture by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1880. The piece is characterised by large-scale orchestration with prominent brass and percussion, dramatic dynamic contrasts and the use of cannon fire in performance, and it occupies a prominent place in Tchaikovsky's output as a programme-driven, celebratory work reflecting 19th-century Russian nationalist themes.
