Who are contemporary colleagues that inspire you? Who are some of your inspirations from the past?

I’m a big fan of Carlos Kleiber. Great conductors are many, Karajan, Toscanini, Bernstein, etc. still alive today are Mehta, Ozawa, Muti, Barenboim, but they are all in their 80’s now…

Muti I know personally since my father in law was in the wiener philamoniker orchestra and they are good friends, great guy. My favorite is Gustavo Doudamel though, because he knows how to bring fun in the concert hall.
