I feel at home in an orchestral score.

The voice collects and translates your bad physical health, your emotional worries, your personal troubles.

We all have a destiny in accordance with the breadth of our shoulders. My shoulders are broad.

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

Young singers are much better educated musically, much better informed, through discs and videos, than I was.

The atmosphere of the theater is my oxygen.

In the last century, everybody was singing lower.
