Title: Truly Awesome
Review: This is simply the best rendition of 1812 Overture avaliable. Not only is it an all digital recording (DDD) but it is also true to the original score, complete with church bells (real ones) and authentic cannon shots. There is a note on the CD insert about the recording of those cannon shots that states that while recording the shots, the larger ones "managed to remove the windows of the English building [on the university grounds where the recording was being performed] some several hundred yards away". Try reproducing that on your system. It sounds really awesome although I have not removed any windows by playing this CD. Additionally, the all digital recording means there is zero background noise (not even master tape hiss) and the full dynamic range is reproduced with stunning clarity. Buy this CD. You will not regret it.
