My Material Life Is Simple.

When You Play Mozart, It's So Clean, It's So Simple. It's The Body Naked.

I Think That I Need To Learn A Lot, A Lot.

I Love To Read Different Books On Completely Different Subjects At The Same Time. I Cannot Focus On One. I Read A Few Pages Of Literature, Then I Jump To Philosophy And At The Same Time I'm Reading Biographies Of Mahler.

I Want To Work With The Big Orchestras. I Want To Have A Big Family.

For Me, Venezuela Is Very Important, Not Just Because It's A Place I Go To Conduct, But Because My Family Is There - My Wife, My Parents And My Musical Family.
