architecture job putting skill works
The real architecture happens within the works themselves, and that was done by the composer. That's where the real skill is. In putting together a program, you're more a curator, but that's important as well. And then the interpreting of it is where our big job is.
conducting conductors few great strange work works
Conducting is a strange thing to teach. There are very few great conducting teachers, and most great conductors don't teach. Look at Valery Gergiev - what he does is not teachable. A lot of it is on-the-job training, what works and what doesn't work.
conductors craft good great known lay push
Good conductors know when to push and when to lay back. I've known so many great conductors that I'm still doing what I can to learn the craft of this role.
conductors good lead ninety orchestra rehearsal
Good conductors know when to let an orchestra lead itself. Ninety percent of what a conductor does comes in the rehearsal - the vision, the structure, the architecture.
brings call closest god music truth whatever
For me, music has been, in a sense, my religion, and it is what brings me closest to God or truth or whatever you want to call it.
love music
I love celebrating music in different and unique ways.
comments meant people
I hate YouTube sometimes because people put up things of mine that were never meant for consumption and also because of some of the comments people write about my videos.
brilliant composer fluffy love pass people underrated
I happen to love Saint-Saens in general. I think he's a brilliant composer and sometimes underrated in a way because people like to pass him off as fluffy and not being serious.
comment people youtube
If I read every comment on my YouTube videos, I'd go crazy with people that are saying negative things.
full
I can't play on a full stomach, so I save my eating for after the concert.
Hamburgers are my favorite thing to eat, period.
people
People wrote the most beautiful things during the ugliest times.
french loved music student teacher
My teacher, Josef Gingold, a student of the French school, always loved the music of Saint-Saens and Henri Vieuxtemps and all the French repertoire.
art
I think you can appreciate different interpretations. Art is not a contest. I can even appreciate hearing someone play something in a way that I wouldn't.
