Academy of St Martin in the Fields

‘The hallmarks of the Academy sound – which is typically
brilliant, light, reserved, even polite – were still there in chipper,
clean performances of two early symphonies set at blazingfast tempos.’
WASHINGTON POST, 5th NOVEMBER 2010
The Academy of St Martin in the Fields - one of the finest chamber orchestras in
the world - is renowned for its polished and refined sound, rooted in outstanding
musicianship. Formed in 1958 from a group of leading London musicians, and
working without a conductor, the Academy gave its first performance in its namesake
church on 13th November 1959.
