Commissioned to mark the 1882 All-Russia Exhibition of Arts and Crafts, this extraordinarily popular work premiered at the consecration of the Kremlin's Cathedral of the Redeemer. A colorful musical tapestry of nationalistic themes and battle scenes, performances of the "1812" -- with cannons thundering and bells pealing -- have remained an electrifying outdoor event.
