The ASMF Choral Era
The ASMF Choral Era
The Chorus of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields was formed in 1974 with Laszlo Heltay as director in a partnership with Sir Neville Marriner lasting over 25 years. Performing all the major choral works in a variety of styles touring across Europe and USA, the chorus made 28 recordings with legendary soloists including Kiri Te Kanawa, Janet Baker, Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, culminating in sharing a Golden Disc with the orchestra for the sound track of Amadeus.
