Let us be clear: I take ten times more money for a concert than for an opera performance.

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

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.

Should it happen tomorrow, I would fall to my knees to give thanks to God for such a career.

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

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

To stay at my best, I have to stop talking during the preceding day.
