Los Angeles Is A Very Special City.

Los Angeles Is A Very Special City. It's A Great Ethnic Mix, A Great Cultural Mix.

My Relationship With The Philharmonia Orchestra Brought Me Many Times To London And I Will Always Reflect Positively On That Early Period Of Development With Them - Their Patience, Their Warmth, Their Dedication.

My Material Life Is Simple.

A Friend Gave Me A Cd Of The 'pathetique' Symphony As A Christmas Present. I Went Home, And I Put On The Cd Expecting To Listen To Tchaikovsky. But It Started 'ta Ta Ta Taaa.' It Was Too Long For Me. I Didn't Understand It At First, But Then I Fell In Love, In Love, In Love.

It's A Physical Challenge. It's A Spiritual Challenge. I'm Studying Almost Every Day A Different Symphony, Not Returning To Any One For A Week.
