Kurt Masur Orchestra Quotations

You have to change your mind with every orchestra because every orchestra has a different character.

An orchestra full of stars can be a disaster.

I always imagined that to bring an orchestra to play together is not enough for a conductor.

And at the same time, I had my very first concert at the age of 16. I hadn't heard a symphony orchestra before, and I was so deeply impressed I said I have to be a conductor.

I can go in front of an orchestra. I can go in front of an audience. But if you see me walking through an audience in the reception or through a lot of people, I'm still shy.
