I listen to everything.

I think my favorite experience is whatever I'm doing now.

Symphonic orchestras have almost become a glut in the market.

While there used to be one or two Pops orchestras, now there are all kinds of European orchestras that suddenly look upon this as a golden wand that can enable them to make money recording this music.

You can tell by the applause: There's perfunctory applause, there's light applause, and then there's real applause. When it's right, applause sounds like vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.

I listen to everything.

I've watched the demise of the Hollywood orchestra, the house orchestras of the big studios.
