The cannon blasts on John's rec are over the top insane. You had better have some serious woofage to pull it off. If you don't, then listening to it too loud will blow your woofers.

More good info. Thanks, Tyson.

Do you have recording you prefer to John's recommendation?

This is the one I like, plus it's got some great performances of other Tchaikovsky music:

I would also recommend checking out the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto and his Violin Concerto, both are very good pieces of music, and are very accessable (ie, they have lots of good tunes in them).
