The Academy of St Martin in the Fields - one of the finest chamber orchestras in the world - is renowned for it's polished and refined sound, rooted in outstanding musicianship. Today, the Academy performs some 100 concerts around the world each year, with as many as 15 tours each season. The Academy's partnership with it's founder Sir Neville Marriner remains the most recorded pairing of orchestra and conductor and, with over 500 recordings under it's belt, the Academy is one of the most recorded chamber orchestras in the world. Originally directed by Sir Neville from the leader's chair, the collegiate spirit and flexibility of the original small, conductor-less ensemble remains an Academy hallmark. In this 4 CD set from PentaTone, listeners can enjoy the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields' performance of Mozart's Youth Symphonies.
