"period interpretation" beethoven?

I was at a wonderful classical music store in northern Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago where they told me about some relatively recent (15 years or less) performances that had benefitted from scholarly study into beethoven's forces and tempos. Unfortunately, I have lost the paper on which I wrote this down... anybody got a pointer to who this might be?

Try Sir Roger Norrington and the London Classical Players. Benjamin Zander also has an "authentic" recording of Beethoven's 9th. Whether these "period interpretations" have really "benefitted" from scholarly work is a hotly debated topic. Nonetheless, have fun listening to them! Let us know what you think...

Best,
Eric
