Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
I write in a range of genres but I think I bring certain traits to all of them. I’ve always been drawn to complexity in rhythm and harmony, without abandoning tonality or meter entirely.
I think inspiration is a momentum state of mind. At least in my case. I like to think of each concert as a gift – especially in these bizarre times. I love letting go of any control and improvising when I am on stage.
At this time, during this pandemic, it is even more important to put classical music at the centre of our lives by making our governments understand that this art is a universal message that must be considered essential
When I think about my performances or recordings the feeling I get is that each one was special in some way. I put something unique into every performance.
There is no previous performance of the same work. We just live it now. And we let the audience live it with us together.
