His recordings of historically informed Beethoven’s complete symphonies with the later that opened his collaboration with EMI received unanimous critical acclaim. The success led to a busy and productive recording programme that covered music from Purcell and Handel to Wagner, Brahms and Bruckner, encompassing orchestral works, choral works and opera. A rich and varied collection of recordings released under EMI, Virgin and Warner Classics that illustrates the Guardian’s observation: “arguably the most important British conductor of the last half century … a man who has emphatically changed classical music for the better.” Sir Roger Norrington: The Complete Erato Recordings (45CD) brings together all the recordings that the British conductor Sir Roger Norrington (b.1934) made for EMI Classics, Virgin and Warner Classics Classics over the years from 1986 and 2004. These recordings marked out Norrington internationally as an important and pioneering presence in the field of historically informed performance, particularly in the music of Beethoven and composers of the Romantic era. He achieved prominence at a time when ‘authentic’ performance had been focused primarily on music of the Classical, Baroque and Renaissance eras, i.e. pre-Beethoven. Norrington’s impact was summed up in 1989 by the New York Times: “The English conductor Roger Norrington … has become about the hottest commodity in classical music … the most talked-about star of the early-music movement, which is devoted to the historical re-creation of the sounds and styles of performance akin to those the composer heard in his own lifetime. He has achieved this prominence partly through the widely recognized excellence of his interpretations, but also by his eager enthusiasm in pushing forward the chronological limits of the movement into familiar 19th-century Romantic repertory. Mr. Norrington isn’t playing ‘early music’ any more … but mainstream classical standards in a fresh and enlivening manner … No-one has been more admired in this repertory than Mr. Norrington, who has combined brisk tempos, dramatic accents, interpretive niceties and a lively responsiveness to period timbres into one vibrant package.” When, at the age of 87 in 2021, Norrington gave his last-ever concert, the Guardian described him as “arguably the most important British conductor of the last half century … a man who has emphatically changed classical music for the better.” Artist Sir Roger Norrington Genre Classical Label Warner Classics Buying Options CD Box Set Format Box Set , CD Condition New Country UK Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Classical View Product Quick View Maurizio Pollini Debussy: Préludes Books 1 & 2 Classical | Deutsche Grammophon | 2LP Released 23rd November 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Maurizio Pollini Debussy: Préludes Books 1 & 2 £25.00 Genre: Classical Label: Deutsche Grammophon SKU: 4835899 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 23rd November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Karl Böhm & Wiener Philharmoniker Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 – Original Source Series Classical | Decca (UMO) / Classics / Deutsche Grammophon | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd May 2024 £50.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Karl Böhm & Wiener Philharmoniker Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 – Original Source Series £50.00 Genre: Classical Label: Decca (UMO) / Classics / Deutsche Grammophon SKU: 4865625 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anna Meredith x Ligeti Quartet Nuc Classical | Mercury KX | 1LP Released 14th April 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anna Meredith x Ligeti Quartet Nuc £26.00 Genre: Classical Label: Mercury KX SKU: 4583623 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rosie Middleton : Debbie Wisemman : National Symphony Espana a Tribute to Spain Classical | Chasing The Dragon | 180g, 1LP Released 28th October 2016 £40.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rosie Middleton : Debbie Wisemman : National Symphony Espana a Tribute to Spain £40.00 Genre: Classical Label: Chasing The Dragon SKU: VALDC004 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Satie – Fragments Classical | Deutsche Grammophon | 2LP Released 13th May 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Satie – Fragments £25.00 Genre: Classical Label: Deutsche Grammophon SKU: 4839552 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 13th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jóhann Jóhannsson Virðulegu forsetar Classical | Deutsche Grammophon | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th September 2019 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jóhann Jóhannsson Virðulegu forsetar £29.00 Genre: Classical Label: Deutsche Grammophon SKU: 4837389 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sabine Devieilhe & Alexandre Tharaud Chanson d’Amour – Melodies by Fauré, Debussy, Roussel, Ravel, Poulenc Classical | Erato | 1LP Released 11th September 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sabine Devieilhe & Alexandre Tharaud Chanson d’Amour – Melodies by Fauré, Debussy, Roussel, Ravel, Poulenc £19.00 Genre: Classical Label: Erato SKU: 0190295207212 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michael Rabin The Magic Bow Classical | Testament | 180g, 1LP Released 11th October 2010 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Michael Rabin The Magic Bow £20.00 Genre: Classical Label: Testament SKU: SP8510 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th October 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bruckner/Mozart/Eugen Jochum Symphony No 5 and No 36 Classical | Speakers Corner | 180g, 2LP Released 25th January 2012 £64.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bruckner/Mozart/Eugen Jochum Symphony No 5 and No 36 £64.00 Genre: Classical Label: Speakers Corner SKU: PHS2991 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 25th January 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jakub Józef Orliński Michał Biel Farewells Classical | Erato | 1LP Released 10th June 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jakub Józef Orliński Michał Biel Farewells £24.00 Genre: Classical Label: Erato SKU: 0190296200571 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Classical Start again
