If we perform the romantic repertoire we need more musicians.
Initially we performed in halls with capacities of 1,000.
I just wish, maybe, that I'd started conducting earlier. I was about 40 when I started. Apart from that I don't really have any regrets. Is that bad?
I would like new people with new ideas to come into it and change it.
Taste is changing, style is changing, and players abilities are changing.
We don't want other people poking into our artistic pie.
