I worked for the Ferguson TV company and in the 80's when we started concentrating on better sound reproduction Andre became our Advertising face. I saw him do a question and answer session and later he took the trouble to come to our Gosport factory to support a charity for a young ill boy. I was standing a couple of yards from him listening and finally got to shake his hand, (very gently). Not only was he the world's greatest all round musician he was a great gentleman, and if you've seen him on Morecambe and Wise he would probably have been a great actor if he had chosen that route.

Previn sure deserves this award--wonderful musician.

R.I.P thanks to this musical genius!

Andrew Preview what a man,always loved in England.

Amazing! Thank you for posting this rare vid ;)

Bernard Herrmann, who was terribly jealous of Previn's success as a conductor, derisively referred to him as "that jazz boy".
