I Hate Complacency. I Play

You Can't Learn Pathos Or Profundity.

I Can Think And Play Stuff In Classical Music That Possibly Violinists Who Didn't Have Access To Other Types Of Music Could Never Do. It Means I'm More Flexible Within Classical Music, To Be A Servant To The Composer.

Menuhin Was Playing Bach On A Fantastic Spiritual Level When He Was A Teenager.

The Beatles Are A Classical Group Because They're Classic.

I See It As My Job To Try To Keep Bach In The Mainstream And Present His Music With, Rather Than Without, Its Emotional Core.
