truth
Listen, I will now tell you the truth and there is no other.
soul rays music-is
Mozart's music is like an X-ray of your soul - it shows what is there, and what isn't.
notes music-is
Music is the thousandth of a millisecond between one note and another; how you get from one to the other-that's where the music is.
musical musician bad-music
There are more bad musicians than there is bad music.
making-love music-is
Music is like making love: either all or nothing.
music teacher flower
I have a responsibility to pass on to the next generation what I learned from my teachers, ... It keeps me young and reminds me where I came from. Teaching young artists is like giving water to a flower.
moving believe mountain
When you believe in something, you can move mountains.
failure grows experiments
It is only through failure and through experiment that we learn and grow.
communication want force
A conductor has to know how to translate music into a communicative force that makes the listener want to hear what he has to say.
years young known
I have known Ori Kam for several years and have always regarded him as an extraordinarily talented young mucisian.
gloves cashmere wells
Playing a concerto with Zubin is like being surrounded by a well-loved, cashmere-lined silk glove.
simple careers mirrors
Outsiders always look for a reason to explain why they are not inside. They never look in the mirror. Let's face it, the profession I'm in is a very simple and a very cruel one. There is no way that you can create a career for someone without talent and no way to stop a career of someone with talent.
