I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.

I hope I have given back half the joy music has given me.

Singing becomes a form of therapy.

But enough joking. I am singing. This is all my life.

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

The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.

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