beautiful artist magic
The first time I sang with David Daniels... I had never performed with a countertenor before. That first time was magic, it was so beautiful. And he's such a great artist.
thinking voice errors
Well, I don't think a specific role can destroy your voice. What can destroy your voice is when you... make an error. Everybody can make an error. But then you need to realize what is your way.
interesting joy different
It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.
culture difficult take-time
It's not difficult to sing in German; it's difficult to feel in German. This takes time. It's a culture.
thinking feelings way
I think the music of Mozart is like a universe of human feelings, sentiments and fragility, and ... that's why it's so 'actual' in a way, so modern.
teacher years voice
When I had my first voice lesson I was 15 years old. And I had a really good teacher. This is what made all the difference. A good teacher will teach you the technique, but also how to listen to your voice.
winter nightlife salzburg
The restaurants close here in Salzburg. They don't really have a nightlife in the winter time.
thinking comedian trying
I think, first of all, you need to love what you're doing, and then this helps in the comedian for its part in everything-but the moment you enjoy what you're doing, you try to express yourself, to find your way, and every time is different, of course.
opera classic baroque-music
I still the love classic period, but also the baroque period, and even 17th-Century music such as the music of Monteverdi. He's one of the greatest opera composers. He was the one who really started the opera.
needs
You need to love what youre doing.
nice color voice
The goal is always to make a nice tableau painting with the voice. The more color I can find, the more shadow I can find - the goal is always to make more nuance and colors.
dream express joy sing situation
It's a dream come true, and with this music, with this Rossini, it's unbelievable how to express the joy and express the joy of the situation and the joy to play this music, to sing this music, it's really fantastic.
technique
It's like when you want to make a house... the technique is very important.
instrument music touching
When you are accompanied by the instrument-on an instrument like the lute-the lute and voice-you have this sound, and you feel how the music can be so touching and yet so simple.
