But his position in the 1970s was very pro-André Previn - I know because I was at Previn's label EMI encouraging him!<br /><br />I have just pulled the original LP issue of Previn's Rachmaninov Symphony No 2 off the shelf and Ted wrote the sleeve notes following a trip to Russia with Previn and the LSO, which many would interpret as crossing the dividing line between criticism and boosterism.<br /><br />Which just goes to show boosterism is nothing new. Thanks David for reminding me of that.<br /><br />http://www.overgrownpath.com/2010/08/walton-for-record.htmlPliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-83532489734853020672011-08-08T13:28:43.976+01:002011-08-08T13:28:43.976+01:00David Derrick has commented by email:

I found them thrilling and can still recite whole sentences from them.<br /><br />http://davidderrick.wordpress.com/Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.com
