It's not like Bolero, but . . . you know.
Actually, I play the 1812 Overture on New Year's Eve, so that when it's midnight, the cannons are going off. This is in honor of an old high school friend, now a professional violinist, who played it to help usher in the New Year. It's a tradition from our teen years. Other than that, I do without it.
The last time I played Bolero was when we had some friends over and one of them wanted to hear some classical music on my system--you know, like Bolero! So I got out my old (and excellent) recording with Ansermet and the SRO.
