LIMITED EDITION. A unique collection of L'Oiseau-Lyre, Argo, Decca, and Philips albums in original covers, showcasing both the genius of Handel and the musicianship of the classic ASMF/Marriner pairing in its most stylish form. In the early 1950s, Neville Marriner, while a member of the London Symphony Orchestra, began his recording journey for L'Oiseau-Lyre as a violinist in the Jacobean Ensemble. A tape of a concerto grosso led him to the label's owner, Louise Hanson-Dyer, introducing his new group, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

Their collaboration resulted in over 500 recordings, establishing Marriner and the Academy as the most recorded duo worldwide. Handel's music became a core part of their repertoire, with recordings released by L'Oiseau-Lyre, Argo, and Philips. This box set brings together all ASMF/Marriner albums for Decca and Philips, covering the years 1961 to 1997. It offers a comprehensive overview of Handel's orchestral works, including beloved pieces like Acis and Galatea, Messiah, Jephtha, and the Coronation Anthems.

Critics admired the energy and precision the Academy brought to Handel's work, especially in the Concerti grossi, a time when historically informed performances were still emerging. The ensemble's musicians, including standout soloists like oboist Roger Lord, showcased a commitment to authenticity and musical excellence. Key figures like Thurston Dart and George Malcolm played crucial roles in shaping the ensemble's approach to 18th-century music.

The vocal works featured in the collection are equally impressive, with renowned artists like Elly Ameling, Philip Langridge, Jill Gomez, and Robert Tear delivering standout performances. The enduring partnership between Marriner, the Academy, and Handel is exemplified by the recording of Handel excerpts by Dmitri Hvorostovsky, bridging past and present in musical interpretation.

Notable highlights include the iconic Fireworks/Water Music pairing, ballet music from Ariodante and Alcina, the Concerti a due cori, and the digital-era Philips album of Coronation Anthems. A special inclusion is two Messiah choruses recorded as a promotional piece, showcasing the ensemble's affinity for Handel's music.

The accompanying booklet features insightful essays from Peter Quantrill on the history of the Academy and Marriner's relationship with Handel's music, while Philip Stuart provides a detailed 'sessionography'. This limited edition set is a must-have for fans of Handel, offering a comprehensive look at the enduring legacy of the ASMF/Marriner collaboration.
