Norrington Conducts Beethoven's Ninth
For four decades, the English conductor Roger Norrington has pioneered the early music movement. Less vibrato, more contrast, more clarity, more visceral energy, all with a touch of showmanship. Roger Norrington leads the Orchestra of St. Luke's at Carnegie Hall, in the final two movements of Beethoven's 9th. Plus, we'll meet the $300,000 man: pianist Kirill Gerstein, winner of the lucrative Gilmore Artist Award.
