This 1995 re-release brings back a simply fabulous, diverse recording from 1989. As the title implies, it includes an astounding rendition of Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" (well, seven minutes of it), the performance of which brought down the house at the 1995 West Coast A Cappella Summit. Other classical cuts include a juicy rendition of Debussy's "Trois Chansons," and an amusing "Pastime With Good Company," complete with vocalized medieval instruments - great! Then there are four Beatles cuts, Gershwin's "Summertime," a Ward Swingle arrangement of "Clair de Lune", and more. Seven of 15 cuts are live, all are impeccably a cappella. (1995 50:24)
