In 1978, Bob Woods and Jack Renner took the first of many risks that are characteristic of Telarc”s history. On the cutting edge of recorded sound technology, they made the first commercial classical recordings in the U.S. in the digital format. One of those recordings was the now legendary Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture, performed by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. The recording featured the first-ever digitally recorded live sound effects-digital cannons. The disc became Telarc”s best-selling recording of all time, with over 800,000 copies sold, and for well over a decade has been the audio demo disc of choice. This recording has been mastered by the new Ultra High Definition 32-Bit Mastering process, which creates an unbelievable sound surpassing other formats.

1.1 1812 Overture, Op. 49
