From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

"which are nearer to Beethoven's specified tempos"....

Hasn't there been some learned discussion about what exactly Beethoven's intentions were with regard to specified tempos? I seem to recall it has been a point of contention through the years.. In the case of the Eroica, there is a "funeral march" in it....no? I can't imagine that Beethoven's intention was to be closer to say a parade band! Let's not forget of course the genius that was Celi, who proposed that it takes longer for most people to actually hear the music... hence slower tempos... I agree with that, as it makes sense...
