Biography
Neville Marriner is one of the most popular conductors in the world, spearheading modern interest in Baroque and early Classical music.
Marriner has conducted a range of repertoire, but is particularly noted as an interpreter of Baroque music. He selected and arranged the music used in the film Amadeus and oversaw the recording of its soundtrack at the helm of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
Marriner was born in Lincoln, 1924, and studied at the Royal College of Music and the Paris Conservatoire.
He played the violin in the Philharmonia Orchestra and London Symphony Orchestra and formed the Jacobean Ensemble with Thurston Dart before going to Hancock, Maine in the United States to study conducting with Pierre Monteux at his school there.
In 1956 he founded the Academy of St Martin in the Fields chamber orchestra and has made many recordings conducting them. He conducted the Minnesota Orchestra from 1979 to 1986 and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1986 to 1989.
He was knighted in 1985.

A woman who came in looking for an album today at my work (borders) suggested Vaughan Williams: Fantasies; The Lark Ascending; Five Variants, as conducted by Neville. She got the last copy we had and apparently its a very rare recording . However it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music that I've ever hear. Certainly worth listening to.
