The Los Angeles Times called him a “candidate for most versatile American musician, past or present”. In an unparalleled career extending over seven decades, André Previn has won four Academy Awards and ten Grammy Awards and admirers worldwide as a conductor, composer and arranger of music in seemingly every genre, and as a pianist equally at home in chamber, jazz and pop music or accompanying the greatest singers of the day – from Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat “King” Cole to Leontyne Price, Dame Janet Baker and Renée Fleming. His recording catalogue is mind-boggling in its size and scope. Sony Classical now presents a 55-CD collection of this unique artist’s classical RCA and CBS discography, ranging from the early 1960s, when he began to grace concert-hall podiums in the US and UK, to the mid-1990s, when Queen Elizabeth II awarded him an honorary knighthood, including collaborations with Leontyne Price, Emanuel Ax, Leonard Pennario, Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Julian Bream, John Williams and many more.
“I may resist being just a composer, just a conductor or just a pianist,” André Previn declared not long ago. “But I am proud and happy to be a musician. It’s the best profession in the world, and I am grateful to be in it.” Every performance in this extraordinary display of a musician’s unmatched versatility comes from the best source, including 6 works making their first appearance on CD, newly remastered from the original analogue tapes.
