Previn seems to have his admirers, although they sometimes seem more
apologists than zealots.

I recall attending a chamber concert some years ago and reading on the
program that one of the instrumentalists had been with the Pittsburgh under
Previn.  During intermission I went up and asked him what he thought of
Previn as a conductor of the classics.  He replied that Previn "was such
a nice guy that we never thought about it much."
