Close
In the 1980s a generation was turned on to classical music by the film Amadeus, its soundtrack performed by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields (ASMF). Similarly, a previous generation had discovered Baroque music thanks to ASMF.

The man who opened up all this music to a new audience was Sir Neville Marriner: his groundbreaking player-led, egalitarian orchestra performed the classics with a distinctive crisp, stylish sound, rich tone and brisk tempo.

Excerpts from the soundtrack to Amadeus open this exceptional concert, also featuring special guests who contribute readings, anecdotes and memories of Sir Neville.

Joshua Bell takes the solo spot for Saint-Saëns. Full of fiery flourishes, it’s the perfect showcase for Bell’s stylistic flair, and a reminder of Sir Neville’s own career as a violinist.

Adding a contemporary touch, Grammy Award-winning Vince Mendoza’s concerto has been specially composed to unite Joshua Bell and the jazz drums of Sir Neville’s grandson, Douglas Marriner.

Bringing the concert to a rousing conclusion, Brahms’ sunny, witty second symphony is the perfect metaphor for Sir Neville, who shared his expertise with wit and affection.

Brahms’ musical jokes are hidden within its structure, but the optimism is unmistakable, and the blazing denouement allows a final tribute to Sir Neville.
