So you see, movies are really another dimension.

The voice is an instrument that you really must take time to develop. It's like a good red wine Give it time.

So I like to make music, and I like to share music. This is also a gift.

I am a person of the 18th century.

It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.

Salieri was a pupil of Gluck. He was born in Italy in 1750 and died in Vienna in 1825. He left Italy when he was 16 and spent most of his life in Vienna. He's the key composer between classic music and romantic music. Beethoven was the beginning of romantic music, and he was the teacher of Beethoven and Schubert.

The first time I sang with David Daniels... I had never performed with a countertenor before. That first time was magic, it was so beautiful. And he's such a great artist.
