RIP. Now playing all the right notes in the right order up there. He'll be greeted at the gate by Eric and Ernie. Afternoon sunny Jim, Eric will say. Les Dawson has just finished tuning your piano.

Along with Von Karajan, Previn was a big star at the time stereo recording appeared. The lush, stately sound that the record companies encouraged to show off the new technology has gone out fashion since then, but he made some lovely recordings. The Tchaikovsky and Sibelius violin concerti with Kyung Wha Chung are magical.
