I Would Never Have Become Music Director

My Entire Learning Process Is Slow, Because I Have No Visual Memory.

I Was Born And Trained To Communicate Music, Just As The Sons Were Born And Trained To Hunt, And I Was Lucky To Have Grown Up In Hungary, A Country That Lives And Breathes Music-that Has A Passionate Belief In The Power Of Music As A Celebration Of Life.

The Experience Awakened 'my Tremendous Musical Ambition, Which Has Never Subsided To This Day.

The Joy Of Working With The Chicago Symphony Was Immeasureable.

Fight The Tendency To Become Complacent And Do One Kind Of Music - That Is The Death Of A Musician.
