He seems to have been around forever.

He was the last active musician to have played for Henry Wood, Arturo Toscanini, Wilhelm Furtwängler and other giants of the first half of the 20th century.

Marriner and the ASMF playing Rossini's William Tell Overture.

I have the 3-CD Complete Rossini Overtures set at home. Great stuff.

Well this news passed me by, but that's the Ryder Cup for you.

I have so many recordings of his; thank you, Sir Neville.
