Marriner: The Complete Warner Classics Recordings 80 CD

Description

The centenary box set of conductor Sir Neville Marriner: "The man is simply a legend," wrote The Guardian in 2014. After his death in 2016, the newspaper celebrated "a life of music-making of the highest quality that brought pleasure to many people." In this richly varied collection, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields consistently embodies a fresh and elegant spirit that transformed the Baroque and Classical repertoire and illuminated the music of the 19th and 20th centuries. Marriner's distinction and influence as a conductor are also demonstrated by the recordings he made with the Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Northern Sinfonia, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and the Minnesota Orchestra.
