Classic Arts News Previn, Mutter and Boston Symphony Give World Premiere of Previn's Double Concerto If this isn't one of the biggest orchestral premieres of the year, it's certainly one of the most glamorous. Andr_ Previn — conductor, composer and bona fide star of (concert) stage and screen — takes the podium of the Boston Symphony Orchestra beginning tonight to conduct the world premiere performances of his Double Concerto for violin, string bass and orchestra. Anne-Sophie Mutter, one of the finest violinists alive today (and surely the most glamorous) takes one solo part, with the other played by the young double-bass virtuoso Roman Patkol‹.
