I guess I'm related to Sir Neville "by marriage" - kind of! He was a relative of my wife's brother's former wife! ;-)
on Decca.For me far too many of the Philips recordings of the ASMF with soloists have oversized soloists sitting right out in front of a chamber orchestra.
It's a bit like your there with the orchestra in the venues, but the soloist/s are in your room.

I'm nominating his Vaughan Williams album.
Pulcinella and the Musical Offering. Love both:)

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.
Because he was on the air so much.
