I Feel Very Free And Very Happy

Our Industry [classic Music] Has Kind Of Retarded Into This Kind Of Endless Cover-producing Thing, And It's A Pity.

Somehow, Conductor As This Superhuman Conduit Between The Masters And The Masterpieces And The Immortals.

The Act Of Conducting In Itself, Of Waving My Arms In The Air And Being In Charge, I Didn't Miss. I Missed The Sensual Pleasure Of Being In Contact With Music.

This Conducting Thing Happened. In 1983 I Was Sucked Into This International Career, Which Was A Very Scary Experience.

Of Course, If You Think Of A European Or American Household In The '50s, So What Were The Things That When People Started Climbing Up The Ladder, What Did They Buy? A Fridge, A Tv, I Think Piano Was The Number Three Item In Say '53 Or '54.
