Tchaikovsky gets cancelled…Cardiff Philharmonic has cancelled an all-Tchaikovsky programme as ‘inappropriate at this time.'...This is unutterably stupid...

This is especially ironic since if you listen to the full length version of the 1812 overture the story it tells feels just like the great awakening, trials and all.
My favourite piece ever. Never fails to move me.
When I was in college, my roommate and I always played the 1812 Overture while cleaning house, and that has become a fond memory for both of us.
When the great awakening is upon us all, it will be a bottle of fine champagne for me and my wife whilst my record player blasts out the 1812 at full volume.
I just hope the weather is nice because we'll have to be outside unless we wear ear defenders ;)
Sounds like a good idea, brother! Think I'll do the same.
And here's an 1812 Overture version you might enjoy. https://www.jacquielawson.com/cards/usa-patriotic
