The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you're in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you.
I make music to touch the souls of people as it's a language we all can speak.
The classical music world is so snobbish.

When I'm not on tour, I love to have a long breakfast at home in my garden.
It is my personality alone that has brought back the waltz and made it a global craze.
