Between parts I was too old for and roles that were too overwhelming, out of reach then for my voice. I carved out a niche with the Wagnerian repertoire since I am attracted by its theatrical intensity.

Sometimes pianists try to sound like singers: me personally, I try to sound like a Bösendorfer.

The high note is not the only thing.

I feel like a little boy who is constantly offered new toys.

I feel at home in an orchestral score.

Don't you think it astonishing that, at 58, I am still working at improving my career?

The press regularly proclaims my ambitions and my financial demands.
