citation, but the letter (which I believe was written to Haydn) dates from the mid 1780s and is quoted/cited in Rosen's "The Classical Style." If you have that book handy, you should be able to find it pretty easily.
I have no quibbles with your personal preference. I actually find the transparency that conductors such as Zinman and Maag have brought to Beethoven to be a welcome development. One major piece that I think suffers from cluttered orchestration is the 4th piano concerto (Beethoven's to be clear) and I am curious to hear that Bronfman/Zinman recording. Generally, I love many HIP and many non-HIP performances.
BUT if believe the position is supported by personal preference and not historical accuracy.
