 Reviews: Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Kenneth Sillito, leader
Perfect was the operative word Sunday night at the Midland Center for the Arts, which played host to the world-famous Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
Now 45 years old, the Academy is the preeminent, most admired, most honored, and most recorded chamber orchestra in the world.
As expected, the Academy gave a seamless performance, with Sillito delivering a wonderfully mournful solo in the opening Largo from his seat as leader and concertmaster.

Murray Perahia/Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
Perahia’s tempos are less extreme, and the famous Largo in the Fifth Concerto doesn’t quite attain the emotional depths it does in Gould’s hands.
But Perahia maintains a much better balance between himself and the excellent St. Martin strings than Gould ever allowed his orchestra, so that you hear the scores much more truthfully.

The Academy of St.-Martin-in-the-Fields also has the unique distinction of being the most recorded orchestra in history, with well over 700 entries in the latest Schwann catalog.
In his capacity as a conductor, maestro Perahia is much like his predecessor Sir Neville Marriner, who founded the Academy in 1959 and quickly established it as one of the world’s premier musical ensembles.
Perahia is that rare pianist who is rhythmically scrupulous, yet at the same time wonderfully free and imaginative with the way the notes are released and colored.

The Minuet was the high point, with the Allegri not quite achieving the ideal verve although the clarinets stood out with their edge and confidence.
Most of the audience clearly knew the Requiem from the scene in the film of Amadeus representing the bogus composition of the work, with Salieri acting as amanuensis, and of course the Confutatis is instantly loveable as well as recognizable.
Amongst the soloists, Lisa Milne’s Lux aeterna and Andrew Foster Williams’ Tuba mirum were notable, but I found Karen Cargill rather pale, and whilst John Mark Ainsley displayed his customary musicality, sweetness of tone and directness, his singing was not as confident as it normally is at the top of the stave.
