Classic music

I went to my library in Atsugi and borrowed some classic CDs. One interesting piece 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky is remarkable. As the title implied, it's an orchestral piece commemorating the unsuccessful French invasion into Russia. The piece is known as gorgeous sequence of cannon fire. You can never listen to the cannon fire at concert halls in Japan because of the fire laws. So, you can enjoy original performing style of that only by CD. If you didn't know about this while listening to the piece, you would be surprised by sudden cannon fire. Therefore, each CD of that piece has warning like this.

Speaking of classic music, there is an orchestral suite, The Planets by Holst. Recently, The Planets' CD by Sir Simon Rattle with Berliner Philharmoniker has just come out. It has an extra adorable piece Pluto - it was composed by other hand in 2000 and Pluto was demoted the other day. That demotion has a major impact in every field.
