The body is an instrument which only gives off music when it is used as a body. Always an orchestra, and just as music traverses walls, so sensuality traverses the body and reaches up to ecstasy.
I hear these melodies. I hear horn lines and string lines. That's what's fun about recording with an orchestra.
There is a number missing. I can see it.
I am thinking it right but beating it wrong.
I never use a score when conducting my orchestra... Does a lion tamer enter a cage with a book on how to tame a lion?
During the rests - pray.
Long note? Yes. Make it seem short.
Who is sitting in that empty chair?
[conductor Eugene Ormandy introduces Warfield to the audience in an unintentionally humorous way:] With us tonight is William Warfield, who is with us tonight. He is a wonderful man, and so is his wife.
It is not as difficult as I thought it was, but it is harder than it is.
When I want 30 musicians in the orchestra, I get 30.
We have to play it longer because there are no numbers or letters.
I can see none of you are smugglers; that's why it's so loud.
I don't get into politics, general or musical, but just call me if you get jury duty. Even in New Jersey I was able to help somebody.

There was confusion since I stood here 35 years ago.
Muti is going to do the Alpine Symphony this year. He will do it well because it is not very well known.
Deep inside I feel that this world we live in is really a big, huge, monumental symphonic orchestra. I believe that in its primordial form all of creation is sound and that it's not just random sound, that it's music. You've heard the expression, music of the spheres? Well, that's a very literal phrase. In the Gospels, we read, "And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul." That 'breath of life' to me is the music of life and it permeates every fiber of creation.
How can we accept a situation in which there are no longer orchestras, choruses, libraries or art classes to nourish our children? We need more support for the arts, not less -- particularly to make this rich world available to young people whose vision is choked by a stark reality.

What you have to do is let go, and the car will right itself. It's the same when an orchestra loses its ensemble. You have to resist the temptation to semaphore, and let the orchestra find its own way back to the pulse.
If you can't play all the instruments in the orchestra of story, no matter what music may be in your imagination, you're condemned to hum the same old tune.
I recorded the song live in front of an orchestra, and yes, I was very moved, I was in tears.
Consciousness is somehow a by-product of the simultaneous, high frequency firing of neurons in different parts of the brain. It's the meshing of these frequencies that generates consciousness, just as tones from individual instruments produce the rich, complex, & seamless sounds of a symphony orchestra
