André Previn: 'Whenever I walk down a street in London someone will shout, 'Hey, Mr Preview''
My interview with André Previn began very badly. His publicist had muddled up the time of our meeting, and I rang up to his hotel room in Knightsbridge a whole hour too early. Previn was in town to conduct the London Symphony Orchestra and his ex-wife, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, the soloist in Brahms’ Violin Concerto was with him. “You want to do an interview? You just woke me up!” he snarled down the receiver. I apologised, and he said he’d see me in 15 minutes.
