Born in Lincoln in 1924, Marriner studied in London, Paris and Maine and began his working life as a violinist. He founded the Academy of St Martin in the Fields (named after the Trafalgar Square church where the ensemble gave its first concert) in 1959 and together they have enjoyed a prolific recording career on labels such as Decca, Philips and EMI Classics, embracing repertoire from Corelli to Stravinsky, with Mozart and twentieth-century English music as specialities.
