From Billboard - September 14, 1963: Previn turns his attention to the Hollywood score scene, one he has seen played many times before.

  1. This is a lovely album. I have a copy and it is one of my favorites. The arrangements are sensitive and lush. Perhaps my favorite track is the "Theme from the Best Years of our Lives". The melody is enchanting and Previn approaches it with a mixture of sadness and wistfulness.
