I have closed that page of my life without rancor. I do not disown any of the work done

A conductor should guide rather than command

You have to channel the interpretation and performance into 100 people. And with the audience, the critics

You have to be able to enthral and persuade at the same time

The conductor’s stand is not a continent of power, but rather an island of solitude

Nobility of spirit has more to do with simplicity than ostentation, wisdom rather than wealth, commitment rather than ambition

It is extraordinary to have time to again study Le nozze di Figaro and discover new things

I’m not shy in the spotlight. I might seem austere and even arrogant, but far from it, I’m actually shy

You can see my decision as either a distinctive factor or as a limitation. I don’t feel it is a limitation

There was a theft! But, of course, if it was up to me, every two years I would win an Oscar

It had a very good arrangement by Herbie Hancock, but it used existing pieces

I was offered a free villa in Hollywood, but I said no thank you, I prefer to live in Italy

I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds

I also used these realistic sounds in a psychological way. With The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I used animal sounds – as you say, the coyote sound – so the sound of the animal became the main theme of the movie

Bernard Herrmann used to write all his scores by himself. So did Bach, Beethoven and Stravinsky. I don’t understand why this happens in the movie industry
