With the sad announcement of the death of conductor Sir Neville Marriner [who we've always referred to as "Sneville"], just months after that of the playwright Sir Peter Shaffer, what better way to celebrate the lives of both great men than with a classic excerpt from their most successful collaboration [Sir Peter wrote the screenplay, Sir Neville arranged and conducted the music for the soundtrack] - Amadeus?
All together, now!
Sir Neville Marriner CH, CBE (15th April 1924 – 2nd October 2016)
