An Authentic Feeling


Gidon Kremer - Milonga en re


"I don't just make music to show how fabulously I can play but to draw attention to something that's more important than the performer and perhaps even more important than the listener."

"Twenty years of life, twenty years of disappointments, twenty years of experience, joy, encounters, ideas cannot simply vanish. They return in music."

"...but it's not an escape. It's perhaps a way... to discover values that last for ever and that exist for everyone."

Alas, did I mentally wince when he mentioned "values"?
