Between The Two Men, Somewhere,

I Can Only Hope That Neither Of Them Was Scarred By Their Upbringing.

From Toscanini I Learnt The Essential And Desperate Seriousness Of Making Music.

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.

I Would Never Have Become Music Director Of The Chicago Symphony, Which Would Have Been An Extremely Sad Loss.

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