notes

Previn, 27, a Colorado singer/songwriter officially released his debut CD, Dolce, of ten original songs to coincide with his recognition as one of ten finalists for the International Song for Peace 2004 contest held in Tipperary, Ireland.

Previn has received a B.A. Music Degree from Colorado State University and is happy to see his CD getting national airplay on some NPR radio stations. He is currently working on his Master's Degree in Music Theory & Composition at the Unvierstiy of Northern Colorado.

Previn is often compared to Josh Groban, but unlike Josh, Previn writes all his own music and performs it as well, both vocals and instrumental parts.

Besides performing operatic roles such as El Dancaire in "Carmen," Martin in "The Tenderland" and Nanki-Poo in "The Mikado," Previn has become a popular draw for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Previn is capable of producing original music for weddings and is exclusive to www.hudetzphotography for creating wedding DVD's.

"I Can't Say No," #8 on this CD, was named one of 10 finalists for the "International Song for Peace 2004." In addition, Previn has received several awards for works he has written, including the distinction of First Place in the 2006 Denver Composers' Competition with his work for string orchestra titled "Spirit of Borodino." A full orchestral and choral work of Previn's was also recently performed, titled "Prayer in Our Land."

Mostly piano based love songs dominate this CD with rich vocals and commanding piano melodies created and performed by Previn.

The CD, recorded in the UNC Studios was Single Glass Mastered for an exceptional high fidelity playback sound.

Also, please keep your eyes open for the World Premiere of Previn's opera "Salem" in the summer of 2007. An exciting love story set amidst the Salem witch trials of 1692, this original American opera showcases many beautiful and powerful songs that fans of Previn's music will enjoy. A story of love and hope cast amidst the tribulations of despair and hysteria, this opera delivers a powerful story through songs composed and orchestrated by Previn.

Anyone interested in donating money to help see the opera performed is welcome to make a patron donation, and any contributions towards helping this new American opera be premiered will be greatly appreciated and acknowledged. Any interested patron donors can contact Previn via the email link on the left side of this page.

    author: Mary Jean

    Previn's music ranges from the sweet fragrance of lilies of the valley to the aroma of freshly ground coffee.

    author: Barbara Johnston

    Previn plays and sings in our church on Sunday mornings. His CD "moves" my soul and uplifts my spirits. He has been given a wonderful gift from GOD. His CD is a gift to pass on to others. Look forward to Previn's next CD!! A must for anyone's collection.

  • Best Songs Ever
    author: Hollis

    Previn has written some of the best music I have ever heard in my life. My favorite song is "Dream", but I also really love and identify with "Valley Verah" since I had to leave my fiancee for a year when I was stationed overseas. I always keep his CD with me when traveling, and listen to it regularly. The man needs to get recognized!

  • Previn's voice puts most pop singers to shame.
    author: Jason Keen

    All too often in music there are performers who can play great piano, guitar, drums etc but cannot carry a tune to save their life. Previn's tenor voice while subdued, is a tour de force that will take you through the journey of his elegant songwriting. For a debut this is an excellent album.

  • Great Voice and Great Piano Work
    author: David M

    I was really surprised to hear this outstanding original music...most stuff I've heard on CDBaby is not original. Surprises like this are what make CDBaby browsing worthwhile.

  • A voice like silk and solid keyboards!
    author: Mama Mia

    This young man has a real way with his melodies and sings with a gentle passion.

  • Previn writes music to relax to. Sounds like Josh Grobin at times.
    author: Singer

    Previn's music is what you want to put on when you get home after a long day. It is both romantic and full of intellectual imagery.
