I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations.

I will prove that a great conducting career is expecting me.

When working with an orchestra, you never spend more than 20 minutes per recording session.

The high note is not the only thing.

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

When facing symphonic orchestras which have played some works five thousands times, you have nothing to do.

Every three days on average, I am alone on stage, facing the public.
