Although he doesn't show up in the webcast, let me say a few words about André Previn, who died the other day at age 89. Although I was never a big fan of his, he is definitely someone I admire in his ability to easily shift back and forth between the Classical, jazz , theater and popular music worlds. Something that, even as it becomes less so, should not be not be seen as such a big deal. My favorite performances of his are the recordings of Russian orchestra works with the London Symphony from the early 1970's, particularly Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff. There was a while there where he conducted the Boston Symphony pretty frequently, but the only time I saw him typified my reaction. There was a very dull Appalachian Spring, a Ravel Left-Hand Concerto that got better as it went along, and, after intermission, an exciting Shostakovitch 6th.
