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.
dream together way
Music is a way to dream together and go to another dimension.
needs
You need to love what youre doing.
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.

I did a concert... in September with the Berlin Philharmonic... They're great musicians, and there's always something to learn from them.

The restaurants close here in Salzburg. They don't really have a nightlife in the winter time.
teacher romantic-music keys
Salieri was a pupil of Gluck. He was born in Italy in 1750 and died in Vienna in 1825. He left Italy when he was 16 and spent most of his life in Vienna. He's the key composer between classic music and romantic music. Beethoven was the beginning of romantic music, and he was the teacher of Beethoven and Schubert.
simple voice 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
