The Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall is enough to catch anyone’s breath. But it wasn’t the grandeur of the hall that struck me; it was the fact that the conductor’s podium was missing from the stage. A bold statement: it was clear Sir Roger Norrington was going to conduct the Orchestra of St. Luke’s his own way.Kicking off the evening’s performance was Haydn’s Symphony no. 39 in G minor.
