Jeffrey Tate Quotes

Concert-going has become much less the thing to do, while people are still going to opera. This might be a harsh judgment, but it could easily happen that orchestras could slowly atrophy Picture Quote #1

In Hamburg, there are three major orchestras, an opera house, and one of the great concert-hall acoustics in Europe at the Laeiszhalle, in a town a fifth the size of London. And that’s not unusual. In Germany, there are dozens of towns with two or three orchestras. The connection with music goes very, very deep Picture Quote #1

I frequently find after a rehearsal of a performance that I have more breath, and can walk better and climb stairs better than I could before. It’s as if I’ve expanded my lungs doing it. Basically speaking, conducting is quite a healthy profession Picture Quote #1

I can’t even touch another conductor’s baton. The center of gravity, the feel of the handle, puts me totally off 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

The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet Picture Quote #1

Basically speaking, conducting is quite a healthy profession Picture Quote #1

So I observe life a little bit, rather than participating in it Picture Quote #1

I guess, as a conductor, one goes in and out of fashion. Your career starts with a bang, everyone thinks you’re wonderful, and then with middle age, something happens and you go into the wilderness Picture Quote #1
