In Reply to: Your favorite recording of his? posted by jimbill on October 2, 2016 at 20:05:20:
Hard to believe that, but true, and anyone who has been collecting records for any length of time is bound to have quite a few of his recordings. Marriner was a very useful conductor and really a brand - you knew what you were getting when you bought a Marriner/ASMF recording. You were not going to get some wayward interpretive ideas a la Harnoncourt (but neither his highs) but rather a straight forward, well played rendition of whichever Baroque or Classical composer was being recorded.
For me, I think I would point to the series of Mozart piano concertos he did with Brendel - top of the line music making, IMO.
