Henry Purcell - Funeral Music For Queen Mary

This episode of the Academy Podcast looks back at one of the defining moments in the orchestra’s history: recording the soundtrack for the multi Oscar-winning film Amadeus. Sir Neville Marriner and British actor Simon Callow, reflect on their memories of the events and characters working on the Oscar-winning film, and conductor Ludwig Wicki, explains the challenges and potential pitfalls of performing a film score live.

This podcast was recorded ahead of the orchestra's 2015 'Amadeus Live' concert at the Royal Albert Hall. The Academy returned to repeat this performance in November 2018.
