Vladimir Ashkenazy is the soloist in the television premiere of Previn Piano Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra leader BARRY GRIFFITHS conducted by Andre Previn 'There is enormous excitement in writing a concerto that will do justice to the virtuosity of an artist of the calibre of Ashkenazy. He simply went right ahead and booked a date for the premiere before I'd written a single note.'
