In appreciation – Sir
Neville Marriner
by Ben Hogwood
Monday 15 April saw the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sir Neville Marriner, the
beloved conductor who formed and led the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Surely
one of the most recorded conductors in history, Marriner completed a wonderful
discography ranging from early Baroque to 20th century masterpieces, with a good deal in
between.
This playlist takes just a fraction of those recordings, mixing a couple of classics with some
of the more modern music in which Marriner added some very interesting interpretations.
We go from Grieg to Ives with a relative rarity included, Tchaikovsky’s tuneful Orchestral
Suite no.3. Hope you enjoy!
