Let us celebrate Sir Roger Norrington, a pioneer, a crackling wit in the classical music scene, a researcher, a gentleman-rebel, and a wonderful musician, who has died at the ripe old age of 91, Friday. What a life, what a contribution to music, what a legacy!

#morninglistening to the earlier Vox recording of the LvBeethoven DiabelliVariations w/#AlfredBrendel and, although I don't (& certainly not reflexively) find his earlier stuff better, these are admittedly very good as is the SQ. None to grand, which suits the work.
