Zeal, the blind conductor of the will Picture Quote #1

Acting is just playing the violin in an orchestra. Directing is being the conductor Picture Quote #1

I had a year at 3 when I wanted to be a conductor in the opera Picture Quote #1

The conductor has the advantage of not seeing the audience Picture Quote #1

At every moment, each instrument knew what to play. Its little bit. But none could see the whole thing like this, all at once, only its own part. Just like life. Each person was like a line of music, but nobody knew what the symphony sounded like. Only the conductor had the whole score Picture Quote #1

The conductor must breathe life into the score. It is you and you alone who must expose it to the understanding, reveal the hidden jewel to the sun at the most flattering angles Picture Quote #1

Let me say that I’ve never thought to conduct because the conductor has to think to the music before the orchestra. And the orchestra comes later. For me, it’s terrible Picture Quote #1

It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it Picture Quote #1

It is so powerful when we can leave behind our ordinary identities, no longer think of ourselves primarily as a conductor, or writer, or salesclerk, and go to a supportive environment to deeply immerse in meditation practice Picture Quote #1

A conductor can’t be too arrogant with an orchestra and try to impose himself too much Picture Quote #1

I’m a geek and I’m a nerd, and I can listen into any piece of music. I think, I can usually tell you what orchestra it was, I can usually tell you what hall it was in. I can tell you, obviously who the conductor was, and who the composer was Picture Quote #1

When I am with composers, I say I am a conductor. When I am with conductors, I say I am a composer Picture Quote #1

Every purely natural object is a conductor of divinity, and we have but to expose ourselves in a clean condition to any of these conductors, to be fed and nourished by them. Only in this way can we procure our daily spirit bread Picture Quote #1

A great conductor possesses that certain charisma and talent that demand the ears and the attention of an audience. I can’t tell you how that happens, but I’m sure it has an inner basis that is never learned Picture Quote #1

A conductor has to know how to translate music into a communicative force that makes the listener want to hear what he has to say Picture Quote #1

A certain fire pretends to be alive; it awakens. Working its way along the hand as a conductor, it reaches the support and engulfs it; then a leaping spark closes the circle it was to trace, coming back to the eye and beyond Picture Quote #1

The life of any musician really doesn’t fall into a normal schedule at all. Every week there are different rehearsals, different days and nights of performances, so we don’t have a particular pattern that we can follow. For a conductor, it is a little bit worse because we have to allow for traveling Picture Quote #1

I admire Tom Ades: he’s a brilliant conductor, and he gets just the right hard, brilliant sound from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for Russian music Picture Quote #1

I conceived of an instrument that would create sound without using any mechanical energy, like the conductor of an orchestra. The orchestra plays mechanically, using mechanical energy; the conductor just moves his hands, and his movements have an effect on the music artistry Picture Quote #1

As a child I wanted to be a ballerina, ice-cream van owner, wife of George Michael, a nun, and a music conductor Picture Quote #1

All the conductor has to do is stand back and try not to get in the way. Mozart is doing all the work Picture Quote #1

There are two types of conductors. One is the good conductor who can do passionate music but also listen to the singers and do the orchestra. And then there are great conductors, who have their own opinion on the music, who are ruling everything - and not listening much to the singers, but the orchestra play amazingly Picture Quote #1

I would often take this bus and go to a nearby village where I had hordes of animal friends. I was hardly around four or five years old then. The conductor was so used to seeing me hop on to the bus and get down at the same place, that he never asked any questions. The strangest part is, he never asked for a ticket either! Picture Quote #1

I study the Bible constantly. I teach the Bible. You know, I’m a Bible conductor, and I have a lot of people studies. But also, I see how small things really help people to get over humps in their life. Gives them direction Picture Quote #1

Conductors’ careers are made for the most part with ‘Romantic’ music. ‘Classic’ music eliminates the conductor; we do not remember him in it Picture Quote #1

Classic music somehow changed, and it changed between the first and the second world wars, and somehow what happened was that the hero that had been the composer, the hero now was the performer, and especially the conductor Picture Quote #1

What appeals to me about an American music directorship is the involvement of the conductor with the orchestra and the community. I think that’s a fantastic thing. In Europe, being principal conductor means merely that you’re the person who does most of the concerts. For me, that simply isn’t enough Picture Quote #1

What is a career, actually? Nobody can destroy my career. Only I can destroy my career, if I am a bad conductor. I’ve gone to lesser known orchestras in Scotland and Sweden, Detroit, but I have enjoyed the places I’ve been, and had success. I like the close community relations, and to solve problems Picture Quote #1

My parents met in music school, and my father was a music professor and conductor. Growing up, we always had classical and contemporary music playing Picture Quote #1
