I won't claim that Wellington's Victory is Beethoven's greatest composition ever, but Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic give the piece just the right amount of knowing tongue-in-cheek, complete not only with stereophonic side drums and trumpet fanfares, but with cannons aplenty. The disc also includes the complete incidental music from Egmont, with Gundula Janowitz singing Die Trommel gerühret and an extremely eloquent spoken contribution from Erich Schellow in the melodrama, Süßer Schlaf.
