Neville Marriner - Michael Haydn: Horn Concerto; Duo Concertante; Divertimento (2013)

‘The neatest of orchestral playing informs these performances: alert strings, restrained wind, and enterprising harpsichord’ Gramophone

‘[The] Duo Concertante is a leisurely, expansive and extremely likeable piece … [it] is played here with spirit and feeling, and with the excellence of ensemble and unanimity of phrasing that one expects from the St. Martin in the Fields Academy. Stephen Shingles’ viola tone has a proper touch of reediness … Simon Preston […] plays fluently, and phrases sensitively’ Gramophone
