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.
Ravel Intro and Allegro, Debussy Trio for Flute, Viola and Harp, Saint Saens (?) piece for Violin and Harp, and Sacred/Profane Dances.
I guess he is only involved in the last one, but it's all St Martin in the Fields.

I don't believe I'd heard that Saint-Saens piece (Fantaisie, Op. 124) before - I thought it was wonderful!
Smaller scale works are very well-recorded.His Mozart Sinfonia Concertante, with Loveday was infinitely more charming and moving than the Oistrakh duo on Decca.
All around best mainstrean Four Seasons.
The Bridge/Butterworth Lp was much better than EMI's.
The Suk, Janacek and Strauss Serenades my sleeper of all time.

At least one of my favorites of his.
