Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture, Op 49. Erich Kunzel conducting the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. (Multichannel Hybrid SACD) [Hybrid SACD - DSD] First, let's start out by admitting this was meant to be a demo disc. Since the LP was invented, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture has been used to show how close audio reproduction is getting to "perfection" - whatever that is. This 6.0/5.1-channel SACD does not disappoint. The cannons are so realistic that my dog was arching her head to try to figure out where the sound was coming from (the only other time that happened was in the "barking" sequence of the remastered "Hey Bulldog"). Since cannons come out of all four corner speakers, it made quite an interesting scene. My multichannel SACD player directed the low bass to the LFE channel - make sure to set your bass management properly on your multichannel SACD player, such as the Sony SCD-CE775, before playing the disc. The equalization and levels are very consistent with other multichannel SACDs. The orchestra sounds very realistic, as you would expect with a multichannel SACD. The orchestral recording is designed to surround the listener rather than have discrete points, unlike the cannons. In addition to the 1812 Overture, the disc also contains a number of Tchaikovsky's other works. At the end of the multichannel SACD are 6 tracks of test tones for help in balancing the SACD player. I found the LFE track to be invaluable and better than the player's test tones. The voice used to introduce ...

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Op. 49 - TELARC Edition - WARNING! Digitally Recorded LIVE Cannons!
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Op. 49 - TELARC Edition - WARNING! Digitally Recorded LIVE Cannons! Tube. Duration : 15.60 Mins.
Telarc International made recording history in 1978 when they used digital audio technology to record the 1812 Overture. With its live cannons and phenomenal dynamic range, it quickly became a favorite demo disc in many audio stores, and the ultimate test for my new CD player and system. The advent of multi-channel discrete surround sound and high-definition audio recording systems such as 24/96 PCM and the DSD system, with its frequency response extending beyond 100 kHz and the availability of Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio, were enough to coax Telarc to create a new recording of the 1812. The new recording is even more taxing on your sound system than the original. Deciding to release the recording on the latest DSD recording equipment, the music, Civil War-era cannons, and the church bells were captured in different venues. The recording is mixed to include optional height information using the LFE channel. Telarc's height information is used to drive a pair of elevated side, preferably dipole, speakers. The height information does add to the overall effect, particularly with the cannons. Even without the height effects, this is a great demo disc, one I demo frequently for myself when my wife is out of the house - the pictures are straightened before she returns! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The review above, was taken from Amazon.com and ...

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Op. 49 - TELARC Edition in HD - FOR AUDIOPHILES - WARNING! Live Cannons
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Op. 49 - TELARC Edition in HD - FOR AUDIOPHILES - WARNING! Live Cannons Video Clips. Duration : 15.60 Mins.
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Op, 49. TELARC EDITION - Erich Kunzel conducting the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. WARNING! - Digitally recorded LIVE cannons, recorded with the Virginia 5th Regiment. This video has been done in HD and offers 720p for the best I can offer you in audio on a computer. HOWEVER, GET READY TO BE AMAZED At the SUPERIOR audio quality that is present in this video. I hope all who requested it will enjoy what I have accomplished. This video was made using MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 HD software. It is my first attempt at using this software, so please forgive the quirks and mistakes in the video pictures. When I worked in the top end audio field, this TELARC Edition was not yet out on CD, so the challenge was to get the turntable ensemble working to perfection. My choice of turntable was the belt driven, reference Linn Sondek LP 12 (which I still own) with a Koetsu arm, tipped with a Kiseki Blue, Silver Spot Low Output Moving Coil Cartridge. This was one of two arm/cartridge combinations, that I knew of, that sailed over those cannons without playing hop-scotch. The other was the Linn Ittok LVII mk2 /Asack combination, which I was also fortunate enough to own in black. Today, on CD, these cannons are ten time more devastating. WARNING - PLEASE find out on a lower volume, how your sound system will respond to the two cannon salvos. The first salvo consists of five LOUD shots. The second salvo a couple of minutes later, consists of 11 (Eleven) LOUD booms ...
