thanks. 2 live in the form of 2020. among my way to the hotel room in the heart of the german capital. cost to 7 long months of waiting * and finally getting to interview a violinist a few months ago the award winning classical music star. today shows up a bit. and she's poor company. bucks and his her constant companion. pounds fee motto has long been the constant companion. of

many music lovers she is ranked among the world's top classical artists for over 4 decades without a hint of crisis or scandal she's successful and beautiful career seems like something out of a fairy tale yet when i meet her she surprisingly relaxed and down to work. yeah right enough milling around sounds and as a theme which is ounce of the motor is a musical phenomenon and that's what it says on your website which brings me to the question how do you get to be a musical phenomenon to play in the top flight for 40 years to spin your t.v. madonna has made much of that. is physics i think maybe as i was 6 when i won my 1st competition now i'm 57 that's 51 years on stage i just do what fulfills me what i absolutely love to do you probably get the same answer from roger federer clearly he's crazy about playing tennis about being the best he can be and making

the best of his abilities and some of the stuff we must look at if you're lucky enough to find something that makes you happy early on. and you're able to make it your profession and then it doesn't matter whether you can practice it for 10 years or 50 or maybe even a bit longer than darfur are from sick or off and i found something i. kept the structure observing you for a while. that sounds like through binoculars. or with opera glasses up close to. the sweat and m.t.v.

video etc i think you're always perfect in a nice way to make music lee is lipstick on my teeth musically but i wanted to praise your perfect headache i didn't do it and make up you could sing your kind of style like oh. yeah how important is that to see on. first of all i'm not perfect either inside or outside 2nd if you look at my social media accounts when i post something personal it's not like that it's just like i am in private without makeup. on and this is of usually in hiking here when i'm crazy about hiking in jeans t. shirt whatever. whatever i am as is recycled and i'm crazy about recycling this jacket must be close to. 40 years old and i've got no problem with that

i read where concert dresses i wore when i was 17 why not just as a style icon when you made your mark playing violin and strapless evening gowns for example of can you get that some people might say and some of the motor is too perfect too cold to learn approachable. and even if you pose that question to a woman in america i think she'd walk out and say it's not politically correct it's a sexist question you can't ask a woman never mind a female artist such a question because it reduces me to something i'm not let's talk about art. from a young age art played a big role in handsfree matters like. she knew that she wanted to be a violinist from the time she was a little girl. she left school at the age of 7 and received private instruction from then on her life revolved around music.

in her career she met run a vault. they studied under the same teachers 1st at home in the black forest and later in switzerland they've been great friends ever since. my impression was always that she had a very down to earth and healthy bringing and she was always given for anything of what special about her is she always gives at least 200 percent in what ever she does she devotes herself to things she could do long tail and effectively lucky and i have the impression that the same holds true when it comes to friendships. conductor herbert funk kerry and helped launch motors career. with him she made her salzburg festival debut in 1977 she went on to give concerts and record albums around the globe. answer fimo to a world class violinist. but

the artist is politically active 2. handsome females a foundation promotes and supports your musicians from around the world she also teaches helps young talents make contacts and facilitates performances. matter has been showered with awards including the polar music prize in stockholm presented by king cole gustav. and the prestigious premium in periodic often called the nobel prize of aa. the internationally renowned violinist received the award in recognition of her life's work. but it's always a kind of perfection tied to a huge risk she takes whenever she goes out on stage perfect she's perfect but not in the sense of a perfection that's remote or cold that would be the completely wrong way to express it for all that time and again she manages to get across this strength and

energy only she manages to make it look easy for thema. a i. can't. even amount of let's go back again to the start of your career have a form except the heard from carry on the sky do you have memories of that you were quite young and the young that's not for that was ages ago in. 1976 of course i remember it all is because the discovery needed back then. and they can take its

discovery sounds like discovering america or something really important is what we all need one more young non-musicians to is a mentor that would be nice i mean to off someone who takes us under their wing gives advice. and knows our personality in all the stages of development. from the thick i enjoy it who can also step back and let the young person go their own way you can mention. signing viki unless i am monitored and of course kajal has a huge stroke of luck thanks to his authority as a musician as a great conductor he was able to open doors to orchestras and conductors for me overnight druid from a top happening tradition and when i learned so much in all the rehearsals that i attended from his symphonic repertoire to his opera performances he could conduct

the most fantastic concert and the next day he'd be back rehearsing as if nothing had happened as if he'd already climbed a plateau on mount everest but now there was another 2000 meters to go i know he'd start again from scratch and he had a wonderful saying those who achieved all their aims probably set them too low that's my credo in everything i do. i guess i was caught out so i don't like during carry on tiara there's

a lot of talk of clever city in the cultural sector. today it's less about my illegal and white men jews western men and and more about the other us of a culture is more women own you have another view. is it different today or what would you say. that some. is stateful there's progress but i won't deny that there's racism in the classical music sector there certainly is and we have to talk about that and if we witness something. and do something about it. was i think differently i'm going to let examples ya just between us jaco she couldn't stop yes for example with regard to asian artists i don't want to go into detail but i've always stood up for musicians for me of course it makes no difference what a person's cultural or religious background is generally and then the case of a musician is it's just about talent and personality. i says mr but would you say

some musicians don't get jobs because of their ethnicity you need to see the cops were called out and as i'm playing out what if yes they might get fewer bookings for sure or agencies might think that it's enough to have one musician from korea a trumpeter for example he. does. as if we're talking about marbles we've got a striped one and now we need a dotted one and perhaps a green one of course that's not ok this is not true but if but i'd say this affects everyone who isn't white and doesn't conform to the supposed image of a classical musician. they don't know about let's talk about john williams you've just done a huge project with him why these new sounds and why him out of his own business is up to me he's trying p.m.'s and for me john williams is

a fantastic composer of contemporary music who writes film scores was his need to sign it and his film music is simply contemporary music. so and i've been a hardcore star wars fan since i saw the 1st film in the black forest back in 1978 i was blown away the only way obviously i'm going there next i think i heard you play hit makes me yes that's right from harry potter yes. * * 2 2 we humans busy like all great composers john williams is able to compose in

a way that gives the impression that his music is accessible and easy to understand them and shifting but if you look at the material in more detail you see the refined harmonies stick and his incredible knowledge of instruments and orchestration it's such a complex and cleverness a sense of joy to play with and i never read harry potter with you but i must say through the music i've become quite fond of the. 4 2 2 2 2 traditional fish the straw and of course i hope that john will continue to adapt his film music for the violin on top of his wonderful violin concerto because i want all those who are interested in

music whatever the genre is to understand what a super cool instrument the violin is the guy is. a few years ago she showed how cool of this somewhat different concept than you. did here for you here in berlin i've played in the philharmonie many times in the opera house wanted an indian in the concert house but i never thought i'd play in the asphalt club i'm so excited. message to this young audience was the classical music. first of all this is something that matters greatly to answer.

a message just last. weekend as was it but you know the music business like few others how did you experience the collapse of musical life in the corona virus outbreak. by music and so for me it started in march and i think i was one of the 1st musicians to get cove it to me. because i won't i found out quite by chance i was really tired one evening and felt feverish and my children said mom you're never tired you must be ill. so the next day i went to the doctors and to my surprise was quarantined for 2 weeks then the concert started

being cancelled i was and then there was a long break out. which i actually cultivated because i didn't want to put anyone at risk. i use the time as a sabbatical that i planned for later. because be taught a good plan types of decisions i'm for in these yeah and i started playing concerts again in september that's what you mean because in september all. of the 1st coronavirus play for. a little perform didn't open the concert. near the opera house conducted by daniel barenboim. i'd see a few fences. because musically she has a lot of imagination. a great sense of style. she has shown the world the she is really a great great finest guns also

a very good. musicians know and appreciate. the thought of course of course she's totally in control but that doesn't mean she's lost response an easy on the country. and gig and she's an ideal combination of control and sponson hazing incidents and they thought. you could drop a cultural sector has had to bear the brunt of covert 19 like few of us were packed in the plains of punk holes have only been allowed to be a quarter full how do you feel about that this is schmidt out soft is it one guy

it's painful to witness this unequal treatment and for all our pleas to fall on deaf ears there is no logic to this inequality and i find it outrageous lie about. this to it's about nothing is changing that's in part because there is a lack of awareness that an enormous number of people and jobs rely on musicians on both directly and indirectly. by hanging and 13600000000 euros in 2019 the economic turnover generated by the music industry is considerable and i mean some people said you'd like to take public office in this situation we serious no i never said i actually wanted to i was just asked if i would and i hope monica won't tell. that's wrong because it's not meant as a challenge and they have it's bizarre yeah but i boldly said yes if the

opportunity presents itself and the time is ripe it might make sense to put an insider in that kind of position as well and it was it's you want to hear from a very type who would not just be the right moment for you it's now is a crucial time he hugh i am in close contact with ms clear to us i am aware of her efforts and i hope that relief measures will keep coming eve's muslims in america ability have you ever thought of calling the chancellor after all your very influential this i want to talk to i'm going to merkel directly and say if we are at an impasse with programs such as noise we need a completely new approach that's proper does the morning go cletus is responsible for that and i think she will do her best to improve things that's why i'm counting on it otherwise we will have to take to the streets in the open you seem like a fighter but i don't just seem like you are one and you want to take to the streets if there's no other way you signing the force new imagine protesting with

a sign of the chancellery. i would do that is yes when things are at a standstill we have to find other ways to draw attention to ourselves. obviously because any personal question what will it be like making music off the coast of it will be just like before that of what we have fewer concerts fewer listeners and maybe less money it. would you be willing to think that we do god's will soon are you joking that it seem you do that nonstop since the covert crisis we have been performing 2 concerts in one evening meeting our pace haft besides that i have always found it extremely important for artists to make a meaningful contribution to the community and to society outside of their profession tradition and beyond perfecting their artistic abilities because in an interview mind and that's why benefit concerts and my foundation where all my prize

money goes are extremely important to me to. get a fisa this is movie it's important to be engaged in something that goes beyond artist self interest it was was i was concise the in couldn't to. your. they give the tickets dust still so you're now getting back what you received from mentors like her but from korea haven't had to call them to any not my phone if i were to start my life over again i would change 2 things 1st of all i would study

conducting my. wife in a mentor role i would have much more. power is not the right word to influence on helping my soloist colleagues advance in their art and secondly i would have found an agency in addition to the foundation but right now i can't manage to perform take care of 2 children and agency and a foundation you can't leave too much up to chance when it comes to a young musicians life the interesting thing about fostering talent is that just like with your own children you support them and give it your best but then things end up differently that's ok i've gotten used to it i can live with it really skip and often i'm going to there is a video of you were playing the trout quintet quite friends. with dunn is a true fan off the headline is classical music makes you happy.

it's just as classical music really make us happy if i don't know who wrote that i thought you did you just have wonderful awy trying to get what i totally 2nd thought of course there are other things that make us happy but music is a huge gift as a listener i think it is a great gift to me because it helps me escape my normal life opening up a dimension far removed from everyday things and human limitations you just fly when you listen to music and dying for an mumsy it wasn't was it's the music does make you happy yes music and other things what a great transition but it also be great to eat something out of what else makes you

happy besides figured. that since i am i kinda have to really like kids of course. i feel the most comfortable on stage when my kids are in the audience because then i've got everything that's dear to me. honest i spend i understand i'm pretty easy to please actually i enjoy it when it's sunny outside or when i see colorful leaves . you can i think musicians tend to live very intensely that's nice in the happy times and a huge burden in the tragic ones. talkin but it was our choice. has been really doesn't take too much to make me happy. i think. it has to be perfect so that's i guess i'm nature isn't always perfect and i'm always happy out in nature from what i thank you for your time but my pleasure
