For nearly fifty years Roger Norrington was at the forefront of the movement for historically informed orchestral playing. Whether with his own London Classical Players in the 1980s or with his Stuttgart Radio Symphony or Camerata Salzburg in recent years, he sought to put modern players in touch with the historical style of the music they play.

Sir Roger was also a regular guest with many of the world’s major orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Philharmonic, Philharmonia, Philadelphia Orchestra and many more.
