I’ve got a great recording of this by the Gothenburg symphony orchestra. Debating using either that or some Borodin off the same record behind the GoPro footage of the Niva doing the tail of the dragon, because GoPro audio sucks.

The record opens with an absolutely glorious rendition of the 1812, too, but I think it’s a little much. Also debating screwing the classical all together and just stringing some Laibach together.

Mine is by the New York symphony and it ends with the 1812

I’ve actually got several. Tchaikovsky was my favourite composer when I was a kid. I’ve got his entire works recorded by the Tbilisi orchestra, and the full set of ballets of unknown origin that my dad ripped for me from his vinyl collection currently in my iTunes library, in addition to a bunch of other recordings that haven’t yet made it off the CD’s and/or cassettes.

I’m still not sure how he ended up as my favourite though. Looking back on my childhood as an adult I’m slowly realizing that some of my “favourite” things may actually have been imposed by my parents... Although in this case there’s a chance it was my own choice merely reinforced by my parents. I was in music lessons and could read music before I could read English, and there’s some pretty impressive composers in the Royal Conservatory introductory books. I may have been reading/writing in French at a younger age, but my memory is too foggy to say which came first, the French or the music, although my money’s on the music.
