2:33 pm
about playing tennis about being the best he can be and making the best of his abilities i think some honest open minded 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 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 up for life on this and they're not. have to struggle observing you for a while. that sounds like through binoculars. or with opera glasses
2:34 pm
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 head to make up i didn't do it and make up a kind of you could sing your kind of style icon. 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. so nurses will be usually in hiking to hear what i'm crazy about hiking in jeans t. sure whatever. whatever. as it is recycled and i'm crazy about recycling
2:35 pm
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 instructors evening gowns for example can you get that some people might say and so if he moves or is too perfect too cold to learn approachable. and even if i don't 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 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
2:36 pm
from then on her life revolved around music. career she met run a volved. they studied under the same teaches 1st at home in the black forest and later in switzerland they've been great friends ever since. 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 terrible and effectively and i have the impression that the same holds true when it comes to friendships. conductor herbert from korean help launch matters career. with him she made her salzburg festival debut in 1977 she went on to give concerts and record albums
2:37 pm
around the globe. answer fema tough world class violinist. but the artist is politically active too. handsome females a foundation promotes and supports in 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 ah. the internationally renowned violinist received the award in recognition for life's work. it's always a kind of perfection tied to a huge risk she takes when ever she goes out on stage perfect she's perfect but not
2:38 pm
in the sense of a perfection that's remote or cold that would be the completely wrong way to express it for all the time and again she manages to get across this strength and energy only she manages to make it look easy nice for thema. and. even a mountain of let's go back again to the start of your career have a for except the heard from carry on the sky do you have memories of that you were quite young and
2:39 pm
a human that's not fair that was ages ago in. 1976 of course i remember it all is because a discovery needed back then. gets discovery sounds like discovering america or something really important is what we all need one more young 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 school from the thick i enjoy it who can also step back and let the young person go their own way. then you would mention. sign and begin list as i am on a train and of course kajal it was a huge stroke of luck ot thanks to his authority as a musician as a great conductor he was able to open doors to orchestras in conductors for me overnight to do it from the top of the tradition to what i learned so much in all
2:40 pm
the rehearsals that i attended from his symphonic repertoire to his opera performances because 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.
2:41 pm
i'm just as a car outside so i don't like during carry on tiara there's a lot of talk of diversity in the cultural sector. today it's less about my illegal and white men was western men and more about the office of a culture is more women own you have another view. is it different today or what would you say. that some. is faithful there is progress but i won't deny that there is racism in the classical music sector there certainly is docking and we have to talk about. if we witness something and do something about it. was i think differently because we 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
2:42 pm
a person's cultural or religious background is generally and in the case of a musician it's just about talent and personality and i says mr but would you say some musicians don't get jobs because of their ethnicity. or 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. 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. 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 didn't mobile let's talk about john williams you've just done
2:43 pm
a huge project with him why these new sounds and won him out of his own billions of them for me he's trying to be the ems and for me john williams is a fantastic composer of contemporary music who writes film scores. as i have 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 makes me yes that's right so it was from harry potter. * * 2
2:44 pm
turn we hear him speak 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 state and his incredible knowledge of instruments and orchestration crew it's such complex and clever music that's a joy to play every part and i never read harry potter with you but i must say through the music i've become quite fond of the hour. 4 2 2 2 trudi coffee the straw and of course i hope that john will continue to adapt
2:45 pm
his film music for the violin on top of his wonderful violin concerto just 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 this somewhat different concept then you. turn to get it here 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 to be cool.
2:46 pm
this is something that matters greatly to. the message came across land. 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. leapt 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 try found out quite by chance i was really tired one evening and felt feverish meineke and my children said mom you're never tired you must be ill. so the next day i went
2:47 pm
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 yet. which i actually cultivated because i didn't want to put anyone at risk if i think i used the time as a sabbatical that i planned for later. this be a doctor good plan time to discuss this i'm for in these yeah and i started playing concerts again in september because that's because in september all. of the 1st coronavirus play for. a little perform didn't put in a concert. near the opera house conducted by daniel barenboim. field fantasy. because musically she has a lot of imagination. a great sense of style. she has shown the
2:48 pm
world that she is really a great great finest guns also guy. cos 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 she's an ideal combination of control and spontaneity and once and then. you could drop off a cultural sector has hats
2:49 pm
a bear the brunt of covert 19 like few others were plucked about airplanes a punk concert halls have only been allowed to be a quarter full how do you feel about. 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 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 both directly and indirectly. by paying in 13600000000 euros in 2019 the economic turnover generated by the music industry is considerable climbing . he said he'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
2:50 pm
won't tell. that's wrong because it's not meant as a challenge and they outs because our 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. and it was it's you want to hear from a very it's i think we're going to be there i'm not going to get caught now it's a crucial time he hugh i am in close contact with ms glitter as i am aware of her efforts and i hope that relief measures will keep coming if moslems in i was really 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 we're at an impasse with programs such as noice dot 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 europe you seem like
2:51 pm
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 certainly 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 there's a new personal question what will it be like making music off the coast of it will be just like before it would have what we have fewer concerts fewer listeners and maybe less money it. would you be willing to earn that. 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. and 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 of tradition and beyond perfecting their artistic abilities because
2:52 pm
didn't fall into your mind and that's why benefit concerts and my foundation where all my prize money goes are extremely important to me. the fisa this is me it's important to be engaged in something that goes beyond artist self interest it was was i was concise couldn't it. your. they give the tickets dust still so you're now getting back what you received from
2:53 pm
mentors like help 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 by me 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
2:54 pm
a true fan off the headline is classical music makes you happy 6. 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 a shy ah i know 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 if you just fly when you listen to music and dine for when mumsy couldn't as it was it's the music
2:55 pm
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 with the things i am i need 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've been 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 what 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 again our nature isn't always perfect and i'm always
2:56 pm
happy out in nature when what i thank you for your time but my pleasure 2 2 2 * 2 2 2.
