Did it take Savall's recordings for you to gain this appreciation? The
historically informed performance (HIP) movement is 40 years old and already produced many recordings of Beethoven that follow HIP practice (Harnoncourt, Hogwood, Norrington, Brüggen, Gardiner and many others). I'm a fan of Savall and I like his musicality, compared to some HIP performers who are self conscious about how the music is "supposed" to be played, resulting in performances that are mechanical and lacking expression.
Savall previously recorded the Beethoven 3rd in 1997 (re-released in 2017), which I prefer over the new recording because of its more immediate, less reverberant sound (the performances are very similar). It is coupled with a great rendition of the Coriolan overture.
Now for something completely different. Savall/Le Concert des Nations perform a setting of Beethoven's music by Italian composer Luigi Bordèse.
