Which recording did they play of 1812? Only 2 decent ones for me
You should try the London Festival Orchestra / Bob Sharples one on Decca. It's quite famous, the LP has cannons on the front. It's backed with Nutcracker Suite. That to me is THE definitive recording of 1812. The only negative thing is the climax section is hard for even the best turntables to track, consequently many pressings sound distorted at that point having been played countless times over a period of 55 years by substandard turntables.
