Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
I am at my best in works that require deep concentration, a good sense of long structures and continuous, unbroken tension. I am least comfortable with miniatures and character pieces.
Everything you experience in life goes into your music and your interpretations. Talking with friends, reading books, going to the theatre, travelling, seeing a movie, reading the news, experiencing the tragedy of this awful pandemic….all of that ends up in what you produce later on at the piano.
Your own compositions are like your baby. It is the hardest and simultaneously the most beautiful thing to let them go and open them up to numerous interpretations.
Who or what inspired you to pursue a career in music and who or what have been the most important influences on your musical life
I try to keep my finger on the pulse and find collaborations or themes that I feel both push and lift the ensemble, soloists and audience.
