André Previn: one of music's most brilliantly effortless communicators

'I don't ever consciously change gears when I play jazz or classical. It's all music.'

So said André Previn, one of the 20th century's most versatile and gifted musicians. There are some iconic recordings featuring him as a conductor, which we'll reveal below: but perhaps Previn's greatest legacy is his almost unique versatility as a musician. He was, after all, one of a very select coterie of artists able to successfully bridge the worlds of classical music, jazz, and film.

André Previn's musical contributions to both the concert hall and the Hollywood soundstage, and his twin capacities as composer and conductor, had a major impact on 20th-century music. Then there was his charm, wit, and ability to communicate complex ideas in a relatable way: these qualities, much like those of Leonard Bernstein, also made André Previn a beloved public figure and a cherished ambassador for music.

Musical artist

André George Previn (; born Andreas Ludwig Priwin; April 6, 1929 – February 28, 2019)^[1]^[2] was a German-American pianist, composer, and conductor. His career had three major genres: Hollywood films, jazz, and classical music. In each he achieved success, and the latter two were part of his life until the end.

Before the age of twenty, Previn began arranging and composing for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He would go on to be involved in the music of more than fifty films and would win four Academy Awards. He won ten Grammy Awards, for recordings in all three areas of his career, and then one more, for li

German-American pianist, composer, arranger and conductor André George Previn (born Andreas Ludwig Priwin, in Berlin) was for eight decades a hugely influential and prolific figure in jazz, as well as classical and film music. Being Jewish, Previn's family was forced to leave Hitler's Germany in 1939. Hollywood naturally beckoned, since André's grand uncle (Charles Previn) was already well established as musical director at Universal (1936-42). Child prodigy André recorded his first piano jazz album at the age of sixteen while continuing studies at Beverly Hills High School.

He joined MGM at age 17 in 1946 (initially as an uncredited music supervisor/arranger), later as orchestra conductor and still later as a composer of film scores. He remained under contract at the studio until 1960. During his tenure in Hollywood, he was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, winning four (all for Best Adapted Score: Gigi (1958), Porgy and Bess (1959), Irma la Douce (1963), and My Fair Lady (1964)). In the 1950s, he recorded several acclaimed jazz albums with drummer Shelly Man
