Neville Marriner - 20th Century Classics

Over a period of 40 years Marriner and the Academy made over 300 recordings but it is the association with DECCA / ARGO that was so unique and resulted in a huge catalogue of recordings of Baroque and Classical repertory - many of which remain in the catalogue today. Between 1967-77 a distinguished series of recordings of late 19th and 20th-century repertory established themselves as classics of the gramophone. This 50th anniversary edition presents a selection of these albums in repertory that ranges from Wagner to Stravinsky, Bartók and Shostakovich. Each CD is presented in a sleeve with a replica of the original LP cover. Wagner, Walton & Hindemith works receive their first international CD release.
