the fleet would. love one son to the other one a little bit easier to give them i had serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there that much i'm going to. want to know their story in for my great stir fight against reliable information for more grace. those who have achieved their aims probably set them to low that's my credo in everything i do you. think with your god you can do anything she wants with the violent movies i'm very often what she wants is the right thing.

2 in the form of 2020. i'm on my way to the hotel room in the heart of the german capital. cost to 7 long months of waiting * on finally getting to interview violinist sufi moto the award winning classical music star. though today shows up a bit too early. and she's poor company. wirehead bucks and his her constant companion. answer it's long been the constant companion of many

music notice she is ranked among the world's top classical autists frova for decades without the hands of crisis or scandal she's successful and beautiful a career seems like something out of a fairy tale yet when i meet her she surprisingly relaxed and down to work. yeah right enough fooling around sounds and is a few more 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 a top flight for 40 years to speak you 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 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 i think is an 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 and off we're out from sick or off an iphone to not. have to try going to observing you for a while and concert i've noticed that it sounds like through binoculars. so we opt

for a glass close to. that is what an 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 out i didn't do it and make up you could sing your kind of style like oh. yeah how important is that to your own. 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. so i know this is over usually in hiking here when i'm crazy about hiking in jeans t. sure whatever. was 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 sophie mutter is too perfect too cold to learn approachable. and even if i were posed 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 that 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 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. pressure was always that she had a very down to earth and healthy bringing and she was always given for anything but with 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 funk korean 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 world class violinist.

but the artist is politically active to. her 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 gustaf. and the prestigious premium in periodic often called the nobel prize of all. 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 in the sense of a perfection that's remote or cold that would be the completely wrong way to

express it for her time and again she manages to get across this strength and energy only she manages to make it look easy for thema. am. never. even dominant of x. go back again to the start of your career have a from except the heard from kerry on the cover do you 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 as because the discovery needed. 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 think i have who can also step back and let the young person go their own way you can mention. sign and begin list as i am on a tradition of course kajal it was 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 to do it from the top of the 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 saw it on 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 was western men and more about the office of a culture is more women. you have another view. is it different today or what would you say. that some. is there is progress but i won't deny that there is 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 the opposition 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 in the case of

a musician it's just about talent and personality. as us was to would you say some musicians don't get jobs because of their ethnicity in this village it's also called. 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 tells us. 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 musicians. with a bit of my blood 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 b.s.

is up to me he's trying to be hymns and for me john williams is a fantastic composer of contemporary music who writes film scores. it's nice to sign it and his film music is simply contemporary music. so and i've been a hard core 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 in there i think i heard you play hip makes me yes that's right from harry potter yes * 2.

chung 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 shifty 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 a complex and clever music that's a 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 owl. 2 2 2 that traditional fish does 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 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. really get it here from 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.

the suffering is something that matters greatly to. message the course 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. leapt by music and 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 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 on top of the systems i'm for in these yeah and i started playing concerts again in september yes that's what you mean because in september all. of the 1st coronavirus play for. a little perform didn't. need the opera house conducted by daniel barenboim. i see a few fans. because musically she has a lot of imagination. a great sense of style. and she has shown the

world that she is really a great great finest and guns are also 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. that she's an ideal combination of control and spontaneity and then they. could toss a cultural sector has had to bear the brunt of covert 19 like few others were plucked out of airplanes a punk rock concert halls have only been allowed to be

a call to full how do you feel about that and 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. this puts it 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 hanging and 13600000000 euros in 2019 the economic turnover generated by the music industry is considerable climbing . he 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 outs because our yahoo 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 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 clear to us but i am aware of her efforts and i hope that relief measures will keep coming and gives muslims in a measure of ability have you ever thought of calling the chancellor after all your very influential this i want to talk so i'm going to merkel directly and say we're at an impasse with programs such as noise 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 by 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 say in the 4 states 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 or. 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 halved. 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 in. indian mind and that's why benefit concerts and my foundation where all my prize

money goes are extremely important to me to. get 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 concerned dean couldn't. you're. they give the tickets dust still so you're now getting back what you received from mentors like but from korea haven't had to call them to be any not my friend if i

were to start my life over again i would change 2 things 1st of all i would study conducting my. in a mentor role and i would have much more. power is not the right word 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

6. it's just as classical music really make us happy if i don't know who wrote that i thought you did. ah if i was 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 if you just fly when you listen to music and time for when mumsy couldn't as it 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 may and i do 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 just 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 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 the nature isn't always perfect and i'm always happy out in nature but what about thank you for your time but my pleasure
