Sir Neville Marriner says that the small ensemble he founded in 1958 ‘had no intention of giving any concerts or continuing forever’. Happily, whatever the initial intention, 50 years on the Academy is firmly established as one of the world’s leading chamber orchestras and, according to The Times journalist Richard Morrison, ‘As you travel round the globe, the Academy’s name has an aura possessed by no other British orchestra.
The musicianship that streamed from the stage last night was beyond superlatives… The playing from this legendary conductor-less orchestra coupled all the grandeur of epic Beethovenian playing with the flawless intimacy of seasoned chamber musicians. ‘…this band operates like a pack of wolves. The impact of the ensemble was breathtaking, a riveting likemindedness, laced with spectacular displays of inspired individuality.’
