"normal" orchestra, which brought Marriner to conducting. The whole undertaking

would not have been so enormously successful if it had not hit the train of the times:
with an elastic, sinewy A-romantic tone, albeit still without "original instruments", and
a musical finish. The "Academy" had "its" sound, interspersed with Baroque,
Viennese Classical, Contemporary, more sparingly also music of the later 19th
century. Although he had been apprenticed to Pierre Monteux, Neville Marriner, born
in 1924, was not an elegant conductor, not a "maestro", and in the symphony
orchestras to which he was drawn from about 1980 - by then the "ASMF" already
had a choir of its own! - perhaps similarly efficient, but not able to merge with them
into a comparable "trademark".
