Previn’s obituary on the London Symphony Orchestra’s website offers a useful reminder that “for many, Previn's era at the LSO is defined by his broadcast appearances with the Orchestra, chiefly on André Previn’s Music Night, which ran weekly in a prime-time slot on Saturday evenings during the early- to mid-1970s. More people watched the LSO on Music Night in one week than in 65 years of concerts”. One would hope that at least some of those broadcasts were recorded and that the tapes have survived - although that was notoriously an era when, to save money, the BBC wiped tapes so as to record new material over them.
