One of Britain's greatest conductors Sir Neville Marriner invites Sean Rafferty into his London family home, the site of many rehearsals, to look back on a lifetime of music and culture.

From working with Milos Foreman on the soundtrack to Amadeus, to playing table tennis in Hollywood with violinist Jascha Heifetz, Sir Neville Marriner relives the most important moments of his career.

Marriner's formidable catalogue of recordings form the backbone of many a record collection. Surrounded by the ticking of clocks collected over many years, Sir Neville describes his early days as a violinist with the London Symphony Orchestra (which include flour bombing the tour bus from a WWII plane), his passion for planting trees, and how he would be happy never to conduct Vivaldi's Four Seasons ever again.
