Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
The ability to express one’s inner soul and communicate on a completely different level through the power of music is unparalleled in any other form of human communication, and having the ability and determination to achieve this is immensely rewarding.
Composition, for me, involves the combination of musical materials through analysis, intuition and chance – a subtle mixture of freedom and constraint.
I’m not a structured composer, and I never had any proper schooling in it. Instead I see it as an extension of my playing and a tool for developing my playing.
The highpoint of being a conductor is that you get to do what so few people do – it’s like having all of Tutankhamun’s treasures.
Make music for the art of it, perform it from the heart, use it as a way of self-expression, and always use it to touch people. If these are your goals as a musician, you will always make beautiful and meaningful music.
