As Chris has said, "historically informed performance." In this case, Aenima Eterna, the group in the Immerseel recording, is using "period" instruments, which are in many cases significantly different than their modern equivalents, as well as "period" instrumental practices, which can include tunings that are different than we're used to now. Also, most HIP performances of Beethoven are faster than we might be used to, as they usually try to follow Beethoven's metronome markings in the score, and they're pretty fast! If you're unfamiliar with the differences, you might compare your Immerseel recording with, say, one of the classic recordings from Szell or Karajan and notice the differences in tempo and tone.
Opinions vary on HIP, to say the least. You'll find lots of venom among the anti-HIP, as if musicians following period practices were commiting a crime against music or something. But many of us appreciate the contributions that have come from HIP musicians, and I personally think the best Beethoven of the past couple decades has come from musicians influenced by period practice but not necessarily using all period instruments or techniques (I'm thinking of people like Harnoncourt and Abbado). But to each his own: there are Beethoven recordings to suit every taste.
Thank you. I really like this recording/performance. I think I'll get the set.
