dbp:quote
  • Seeing Claudio Abbado conduct an opera at Royal Covent Garden in London when I was 11; I was sat on the side of the theater so I could see into the pit. I was totally mesmerized with this man with a white stick and even though he was not making any sounds, he was controlling the sounds and music. It obviously struck a nerve deep inside of me. (en)
