his her constant companion. pouncer fi motto has long been the constant companion of many music lovers she is ranked among the world's top classical artists for of a 4 decades without the hands of crisis or scandal she's successful and beautiful her career seems like something out of a fairy tale yet when i'm into she's surprisingly relaxed and down to earth. yet it's enough to linger around sounds from what is ounce of the motor is a musical phenomenon of if you have it that's what it says on your way. which brings me to the question how do you get to be a musical phenomenon to play in the top flight for 40 years not even madonna has made much of the top. is physics as many as i was 6 when i won my 1st competition now i'm 57 that's 51 years on stage 5 pounds for i just do what fulfills me what i
8:33 am
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 i think someone is talking about a screw capped. if you're lucky enough to find something that makes you happy early on and good 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 and off from sick or off life on the swing i.
8:34 am
have to try talking observing you for a while. that sounds like through binoculars. or with opera glasses up close to. have sweat and m.t.v. video etc i think you're always perfect and in a nice way. there's lipstick on my teeth musically but i wanted to praise your perfect head to make up i didn't do it and make up a kind of you could sing your kind of style like oh. yeah how important is that to you see on. first of all i'm not perfect and neither 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 over usually in hiking gear when i'm crazy about hiking in jeans t. sure whatever. whatever. as it is recycled and i'm crazy about recycling
8:35 am
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 you made your mark playing violin and strapless evening gowns for example can you get that some people might say and so if he moves or is too perfect to go on approachable. and even i'll 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 arts. from a young age art played a big role in handsfree motors life. 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
8:36 am
from then on her life revolved around music. early in her career she met run a vault. they studied under the same teaches 1st at home in the black forest and later in switzerland they've been great friends ever since. my profession 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 term and effectively and i have the impression that the same holds true when it comes to friendships or. conductor herbert from kerry and helped launch much as career. with him she made her salzburg festival debut in 1977 she went on to give concerts and record albums
8:37 am
around the globe. answer fimo to world class pilot. but the artist is politically active too. handsome female to foundation promotes and supports him 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 imperialist often called the nobel prize of aa. the internationally renowned violinist received the award in recognition for life's work of the prophet 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
8:38 am
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. am. even a man of it's go back again to the start of your career have a for it set the heard from carry on the cover do you do you have memories of that
8:39 am
you were quite young and the young that's not for that was ages ago in. 1976 of course i remember it. 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 tool from. who can also step back and let the young person go their own way you can mention. 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 the top of the tradition and when i learned so much in all the
8:40 am
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 metres 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.
8:41 am
i guess i was caught out so i saw it coming like during carry on tiara there's a lot of talk of diversity in the cultural sector. today it's less about male ego and white men jews western men and you and more about the office of a coach is more women. you have an overview. is it different today or what would you say. that's. stateful there's progress but i won't deny that there's racism in the classical music sector there certainly is docking and we have to talk about that and if we witness something. and do something about it. was i think differently because you have examples ya just between. 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
8:42 am
a person's cultural or religious background is generally and in the case of a musician it's just about talent and personality has really caught on i suppose to but would you say some musicians don't get jobs because of their ethnicity you need to see that it's also ok on us i'm going up on 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 it's of course that's not ok. 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
8:43 am
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 brilliance is i mean he's trying p.m.'s and for me john williams is a fantastic composer of contemporary music who writes film scores was dismissed as for me he signed 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 blown away obviously i'm going there next i think i heard you play hit weeks the yes that's right from harry potter yes. * * 2 2
8:44 am
turn with him specific 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 and his incredible knowledge of instruments and orchestration it's such complex and cleverness eg these acts 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 ol. 4 2 2 2 traditional fish does drop of course i hope that john will continue to adapt
8:45 am
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 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 in berlin i've played in the philharmonie many times in the opera house wanted in mindon and the concert house but i never thought i'd play in the asphalt club i'm so excited. message to this young or do you use the classical music to be cool.
8:46 am
that's a following this is something that matters greatly to. the message in this last. weekend as it was it was 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 me. because i won't i found out quite by chance i was really tired one evening and felt feverish panicking and my children said mom you're never tired you must be ill. so the next day i went to the
8:47 am
doctors and to my surprise was quarantined for 2 weeks then the concert started being cancelled and then there was a long break yet. which i actually cultivated because i didn't want to put anyone at risk if opting in one i use the time as a sabbatical that i'd planned for later. for speed off a good plan touchett assistance i'm for these yeah and i started playing concerts again in september that's because that's because in september all. of the 1st coronavirus play for. perform didn't put them in a concert. near the opera house conducted by daniel barenboim. because musically she has
8:48 am
a lot of imagination. a great sense of style. and she has shown the world that 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 her spontaneity on the country. and gig and she's an ideal combination of control sponson easy wins and they.
8:49 am
could prove also cultural sector has had to bear the brunt of covert 19 like few others were packed planes of passion for the hose of only been allowed to be a quarter full how do you feel about this is schmidt out soft is it wouldn't like 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. this would see but 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 climbing . you've 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
8:50 am
won't tell. that's wrong because it's not meant as a challenge and they have to stock ya 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. and it was it's you want to hear from a very it's i would not be the right moment to get caught it now is a crucial time he hugh i am in close contact with ms clue as i am aware of her efforts and i hope that relief measures will keep coming. through ability have you ever thought of calling the chancellor after all your very influential so i want to talk so i'm going to merkel directly and say we're at an impasse with programs such as noice that we need a completely new approach that's probably doesn't want to 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
8:51 am
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 say the force is 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 there's any personal question what will it be like making music off the coast guard all of it will be just like before that of what we have fewer concerts fewer listeners and maybe less money or. would you be willing to earn less. are you joking it when you do that nonstop since the covert crisis we have been performing 2 concerts in one evening meaning our pay is have to. 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 and beyond perfecting their artistic abilities. into your mind
8:52 am
and that's why benefit concerts and my foundation where all my prize money goes are extremely important to me. of he said this is movie it's important to be engaged in something that goes beyond artist self interest it was was i was conceived as seen couldn't it. they give it to its dust seal now giving back what you received from mentors like
8:53 am
help from korea have been trying 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. while in a mentor role i would have much more. power is not the right word it 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 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. skipping off number 2 there is a video of you were playing the trout quintet quite friends. with dunn is
8:54 am
a true fan off the headline is classical music makes you happy 6. he starts his classical music really makes us happy if i don't know who wrote that i thought you did have a brush i advise my mistake now but 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 time for when mom's e.q.
8:55 am
got as it was exciting 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 fit. but since i am i'm a kid and i 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've been honest and i'm pretty easy to please actually i enjoy it when it's sunny outside or when i see colorful leaves. was it and 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. because. it's been really doesn't take too much to make me happy. i think. it has to be perfect so that's i guess nature is always perfect and i'm always
8:56 am
happy out in nature from what i thank you for your time but my pleasure 2 2 2 * * 2 2.
