With five former marriages, including to actress Mia Farrow and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, Previn's never been far from the arts - and the gossip - pages of the newspapers.

This week, Donald Macleod explores André Previn's career as a movie, jazz and classical composer, exclusively in conversation Previn himself as they explore his remarkable musical life.

At the age of 85, André Previn is in demand more than ever: both on the podium, and as an acclaimed composer for the concert hall, recording studio and opera stage. Donald Macleod ends the week of exclusive conversations with the composer with a selection of recent works, and talks to Previn about his personal and musical relationship with a musician considered by many to be his muse - his fifth wife, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. We end with one of the many works Previn has written for her - his jazzy, brilliant "Tango Song and Dance" suite for violin and piano.
