If you want to 'ease' into HIP Beethoven, start with Harnoncourt. Its 'informed' (influenced) by, but not replications of original performances of his symphonies. Personally I think a lot of the replacements of the original instruments is a good thing. Just a POV, probably unshared by you HIPers! Where do you buy your hair shirts anyway? :-)
