I second the Harnoncourt recommendation-with the exception of No 9 and
possibly No 3.  I bought No 9 with Jochum/Concertgebouw (and some unknown
soloist (to me, that is).  Very good recording-from the 60s or early 70s,
if I remember correctly...

I must add that I'm still struggling with the Eroica-probably looking for
the perfect intrepretation or simply just for the right moment in time..
