1812 Overture / Ravel’s Bolero: Deutche Grammophon – 2584 003

Arthur Fiedler: conductor
Produced by Karl Faust – 1975
Recorded by Gunter Hermanns

Arthur Fiedler (December 17, 1894 – July 10, 1979) Composed in 1880 when Tchaikovsky was 40, he thought the overture was very noise, written without much love and probably not of much artistic value. The Cannons  were difficult to record: artillery fired in the open air sounds impressive, but when recorded sound like popguns so they used three shotguns loaded with black powder and were overdubbed (Fielder used earplugs). 1st Classical conductor to embrace the music of The Beatles
