The conductor, whose historically informed evangelism helped transform the classical music world, has died. Tom Service remembers a man who looked to the past to find a fresh and thrilling present.• Five key Norrington recordingsThe conductor Sir Roger Norrington, whose death was announced yesterday at the age of 91, remains still the maverick presence that classical music needs. His mission wasn’t only to make us hear the repertoire we thought it knew through the prism of the techniques and playing styles of its time, rather than the ossifications of later traditions. He was also an irresistible firebrand in performance, whose energy wasn’t only about inspiring his performers to get closer to the music they were playing, it was also an invitation to his audiences that their listening should be involved too. Norrington wanted everyone to feel the urgency of Beethoven’s rhetorical power and rudeness, from the radiance of one of his favourite pieces, the Missa Solemnis, to the emetic ...

39 h. ago From penalty taker to physio: Lucy Bronze is England’s Swiss army knife

When the chips were down against Sweden, the right-back scored, scrapped and strapped her way to a semi-final spotLucy Bronze pinned up a picture of herself after the 2019 Women’s World Cup bronze-medal match against Sweden, which England lost 2-1, for her teammates to see on a wall in the team hotel where players and staff share inspirational images. She was, in her words, “absolutely exhausted” in it, hairband round her neck, shirt crumpled, hair awry, the physical, emotional and mental pain of the preceding 90 minutes visible.That photo represents so much to Bronze, England’s stalwart right-back who no one has come close to replacing and likely never will. “I will give anything and I will give everything when I play in an England shirt,” she says of that image of her at her most broken. ”I wanted all the girls to know that that’s my why.
