If I may first say congrats. Then recommend this:

Best Beethoven recordings I've heard. Gardiner back to the original handwritten notes on his Manuscripts to record they way B wanted it to sound. Also instruments in b's day weren't as advanced as now and had less sustain. So b wanted much of the symphonies played faster than is normal today.

Which means they are even better for neighborly vengeance.

I'm pretty certain this isn't actually the Gardiner recording of the Ninth, but it's close. I was always on the fence about Beethoven until I heard his recordings of Beethoven's symphonies. It was like a breath of fresh air.

Anyway, for reference if you're interested, this is the box set:
