Although best known for his work in the pop world (particularly with The Beatles), producer Sir George Martin had a lifelong love of classical music which he put to great use over his career.<\/p>

Born and raised in North London, Martin saved up for piano lessons as a teenager, desperate to perform the piano sonatas of Beethoven<\/a><\/strong> and Mozart<\/a><\/strong>. At school, meanwhile, Martin’s interest in classical music was further fuelled by a visit from the London Symphony Orchestra<\/a><\/strong> and their conductor Adrian Boult.<\/p>
