Sir Henry Wood regarded him as an upstart, the scrupulous Sir Adrian Boult found him "repulsive" as a man and a musician; and Sir John Barbirolli mistrusted him. I respect the opinions of all those men, especially Boult, and so, overall, he gets a thumbs down from me when it comes to the et in amore aspect. One of Previn's endearing qualities was that there was no 'side' about him. You certainly couldn't say that about Beecham who was boastful, arrogant and pretentious!

I quite agree! I was merely being flippant...
