When are Warner going to do the decent thing and release a box of the complete EMI LSO/Previn recordings?

"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink -
Previn as accompanist and chamber musician
With Sylvia McNair (soprano) and David Finck (double bass), Previn recorded two song albums, the composers being Harold Arlen and Jerome Kern. Kern's songs don't lend themselves readily to the jazz idiom, but there are a good few gems on the Arlen CD. In 'The devil and the deep blue sea', his intro and outtro are in pure stride style, but when it comes to his central solo, he wittily offers a bitonal boogie in the keys of C and F# - a tritone between them (diabolus in musica).
Andrew Marriner has paid tribute to Previn's "divine" piano touch in Mozart and chamber music. Everybody should know his accounts of the Mozart piano quartets with the Vienna Musikverein quartet!Last edited by rauschwerk; 01-03-19, 21:52.Comment

Not available on CD (I believe) but I came across this stunning performance - and great BBC engineering - of a Prom performance of Walton Symph 1 (1970).
