[78-L] 1812 and a Half Overture

[David Lennick]

And there's a site that discusses various replacements in Tchaikovsky works 
during the Stalin era and this is named. The recording of the 1812 appears to 
be from 1948 but certainly no later than 1952 when Golovanov was dismissed from 
his post, and might be on USSR D1294. I haven't sourced the Marche Slav by 
Anosov yet.
