I wonder why nobody has come out and said that the Telarc 1812 "stinks".
The cannons may be faithfully reproduced, but the orchestra is in the
next county.  I would much prefer a well miked orchestra and distant cannons
with the sounds rolling through the hills.  My favorite "recording" was the
Rostropovich July 4th concert on PBS a few years back.  Of course there
wasn't much of it left by the time KOAP got through with it ...

Seriously, is there a good MUSICAL recording of the 1812, preferably with
the choir?

One little mentioned benefit of the Carver 400 is the extended life
expectancy of speakers, especially tweeters.  I've fried at least three
high frequency drivers with a 150 watt receiver, none with the 400.
(I did have a close call with the Telarc Star Tracks CD, but only my
ears got fried on that one :-)
