Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture

This is the album that put Telarc Records on the Audiophile map. It's a complete digital recording from stage to disc. For the first 12:30 of the overture, you wonder where the studio engineers were during the recording sessions. The sound is quiet, until you hear the cannon blasts. From the initial crack of the fuse lighting, to the blast of the shot leaving the cannon, this will test your systems dynamic range. For a neat show, turn it all the way up, open the trunk, and watch your subwoofers try to jump out of the basket.
