I just listened to this HIP performance on youtube.
Beethoven Appassionata Sonata - Shuann Chai - Fortepiano - Live Concert - HD
It certainly is different from a piano performance using a modern piano. I don't find it offensive and it is actually a bit intriguing. I guess if I donned a white wig and some ruffled shirt I could really get into the HIP scene :-)
It's might be considered a bit enlightening.
