I Set Out To Create A Means

My Relationship With The Philharmonia Orchestra Brought Me Many Times To London And I Will Always Reflect Positively On That Early Period Of Development With Them - Their Patience, Their Warmth, Their Dedication.

For Me To Rehearse With A Children's Orchestra A Mahler Symphony Was To Really Work. We Had Three Or Four Weeks Of Rehearsal With The Orchestra, Every Day Eight Or Nine Hours, Putting The First Together. I Had Been Conducting Tchaikovsky A Lot And Beethoven, But Mahler Was Different.

My Material Life Is Simple.

In My Imagination Yes, I Remember, When I Was Six Years Old, I Was Conducting All This Concert In My House. But Now It's Real.

It's Not That People Don't Like Classical Music. It's That They Don't Have The Chance To Understand And To Experience It.
