Quotes
I preferred that the artist be very much involved because I didn't have that much faith in my musicianship. I was not a trained conductor and I hadn't studied conducting and I wanted their inputs very badly. I was afraid I'd miss something, so I always pushed my people to stay involved. [in a 1997 interview with Michael Hobson of Classic Records]
