Conductor Neville Marriner, who led the Academy of St Martin in the Fields to become one of the world's most-recorded classical music groups, has died, the academy said Sunday. He was 92.

Marriner, a violinist in the London Symphony Orchestra, joined with several other musicians in 1959 to form a chamber group, which was intended to perform without a leader. The group's mouthful of a name, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, was inspired by the church in central London where they performed.

Ο Marriner υπηρξε και καλλιτεχνικός διευθυντής της ορχήστρας "Camerata" με εδρα το Μέγαρο μουσικής Αθηνών.
