discover the. 11. lives subscribe to the documentary on. those who have achieved their aims probably set them too low that's my credo in everything i do you. think we've got you can do anything she wants with the violin even under very often what you want is the right thing

4. in the form of 2020. i'm on my way to the hotel room in the heart of the german capital. off to 7 long months of waiting and finally getting to interview violinist house a few muito the award winning classical music star. today she shows up a bit. and she's poor company. thanks his her constant companion. concert has long been the constant companion of many music

lovers she is ranked among the world's top classical autists for of a fall 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 she surprisingly relaxed and down to earth. yeah it's enough fooling around sounds. ounce of the motor is a musical phenomenon that's what it says on your. 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 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 some of this argument is clear cut 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 went out from sick or up for life on the ceiling are. kept the truck and observing you for a while. of course 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 head to make up i didn't do it and make up what kind of you could sing your kind of style like oh. yeah how important is that on. first of all i'm not perfect 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 i know this will be usually in hiking gear when i'm crazy about hiking in jeans t. sure whatever. whatever. as it recycle 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 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 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 arts. 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 from then on her life revolved around music.

early in her career she met ryan 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. my profession was always that she had a very down to earth and healthy bringing and she was always given for anything but with on the bike what special about her is she always gives at least 200 percent in what ever she does she devotes herself to things she can do long tail 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 matters career. with him she made her salzburg festival debut in 1977 she went on to give concerts and record albums around the globe. i'm sufi motor world class pilot asked.

but the artist is politically active too. handsome female to 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 ah. the internationally renowned violinist received the award in recognition of her life's work. in perfect 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 all that time and again she manages to get across this strength and

energy only she manages to make it look easy nice for thema. 2011 and. even a mountain of let's go back again to the start of your career have a form except the heard from carry 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. because the discovery needed back then now. it's

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 as 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. time in the game list as i am on a train 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 good from the top up not to listen to what i learned so much in all 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. i guess i was so caught up so i thought i'm 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. you have another view. is it different today or what would you say. that some. is it for 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. if we witness something and do something about it. was i think differently i'm going to have 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. i suppose to be would you say

some musicians don't get jobs because of their ethnicity you need to see that it's also ok i'm only 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. 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 it's 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 musicians. they did it on my blog 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 up to me he's trying to be games 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 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 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 and you see the refined harmonies and his incredible knowledge of instruments and orchestration it's such 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. 4 4 2 2 2 the 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 to understand what

a super cool instrument the violin is when the guy is. a few years ago she showed how cool this somewhat different concept when you. did it here from here in berlin i've played in the philharmonie many times in the opera house. and 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. diversifying is something that matters greatly to.

the message can just last. weekend as was it because you know the music business like few others how did you experience the collapse of musical life in the corona virus outbreak i lived 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 meineke 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 out. which i actually call to feed it because i didn't want to put anyone at risk if opting in i used the time as a sabbatical that i'd planned for later. for speed off a good plan touchett assistance i'm for in these yeah and i started playing concerts again in september that you can pick on him in september all. for the 1st coronavirus way. he looked at the form didn't open at. the opera house conducted by daniel barenboim. see a few fences. 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 also guy 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 going she's an ideal combination of control and spontaneity and once and they thought. you could cultural sector has had to bear the brunt of covert 19 like few others were packed planes apart from concert halls have only been allowed to be a quarter full how do you feel about the stand 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 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 on both directly and indirectly. by hanging and 13600000000 euros in 2019 the economic turnover generated by the music industry is considerable. 70 percent 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 to 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 the right moment to get god now is a crucial time he hugh i am in close contact with ms clue to us i am aware of her efforts and i hope that relief measures will keep coming. 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 are at an impasse with programs such as noice we need a completely new approach those who doesn't want to go quitters 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 say you force a new imagine protesting with

a sign of the chancellery as 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 guard 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 earn less if you got out of it soon are you joking it seem uses shims 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. into your mind 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 concise zene couldn't. they give the 2 hits dusts seal now giving back what you received from mentors like help from korea have been trying to call them to any note my friend if i were to start my life over again i would change 2 things 1st of all i would study

conducting my 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 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 have one oif my mistake 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 mumsy couldn't as it was it's a music does make you happy yes music and other things go to great transition but it also be great to eat something out of what else makes you happy besides food.

but since i am i'm a kid and i have to be my 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. 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 i know that's again our nature isn't always perfect and i'm always happy out in nature but more doubt thank you for your time but my pleasure
