A few years ago, amidst a blaze of publicity, Andre Previn and Mia Farrow came to settle in England. They now live with their twin sons in a quiet village in an old house surrounded by woods - an idyllic refuge from their well publicised careers of international conductor and film star. Tonight Previn talks to Herbert Chappell and plays some of the music which has influenced his development as a conductor and helped form his attitudes and musical tastes including:
Brahms Academic Festival Overture
Walton Scapino
Mozart Larghetto (Piano Concerto in C minor, K 491)
Copland El Salon Mexico

The last bone peg is hammered home with a stone; the last sinew stitch drawn tight in the caribou skin. The kayak is complete, and a stone-age craft is launched. The Place is Pelly Bay in the Canadian Arctic: the year, 1960. Even as late as this, the People of the Seal were still following their ancient way of life.
Now they, together with their harsh, simple life and their incredible resourcefulness, have been swept away into civilised settlements. But not before a Canadian camera team had shot nearly 100 hours of film.
The result is a film which reflects not just the actions but also the outlook of a vanished race. So a programme that starts out as a succession of fascinating pictures slowly turns into something more -the understanding of another way of life.
A BBC/National Film Board of Canada co-production
