a mic on the podium - Un pódcast de Michael Seal

Categorías:

In this special feature-length episode to celebrate reaching the century of episodes, I was lucky enough to chat with one of the biggest names in conducting over the last few decades, Sir Roger Norrington. He was charming, open, honest, fascinating and a joy to spend 90 minutes in the company of. I discovered how being sent to Africa made him decide that he wanted to try to become a professional musician, he was very honest about his system for learning a score, especially his feelings and thoughts on harmony, and it wouldn’t have been a discussion with Sir Roger without us becoming very detailed about metronome markings, especially Beethoven’s!
