I Was Different From Most Young Conductors

At The Age Of 16, Something Happened With My Finger And The Doctor Told Me, You Never Can Be A Organist Or Pianist, So Think About What You Do With Music.

Young Conductors Who Are Confident Enough, They Very Often Have Success.

If You Go To Japan For Instance, You Should Know That They Have A Different Way Of Playing Beethoven Or Brahms. But If You Play With Them Mozart, Debussy, Mendelssohn, They Have A Wonderful Light Feeling For That.

I Can Go In Front Of An Orchestra. I Can Go In Front Of An Audience. But If You See Me Walking Through An Audience In The Reception Or Through A Lot Of People, I'm Still Shy.

I Always Imagined That To Bring An Orchestra To Play Together Is Not Enough For A Conductor.
