I love Elgar and Walton. Sir William wrote the score for
the classic movie “Battle of Britain”.

Fortunately old age is not a handicap for conductors, unlike for athletes.

Nobody [outside of a PBS fundraiser] knows, or will remember, who Colin Davis is. But a LOT of people know, and will remember, “Junior”.

My mom and grandma used to tell me to enjoy my youth - they were the best years of my life. Frankly, I'm happier and more content now than I've ever been in my life.

Sure, when I get old, if I get disabled, I'll probably yearn for the good old days. But not now. :)

Medved is wrong about Tolstoy not having written any more long novels after ‘Anna Karenin’. ‘Resurrection’ is over 600 pages in most editions.

More recently, I've become convinced that another of my childhood obsessions (classical music conducting) offers even more wondrous work,

I remember when I was about six, one of my dad's friends asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said I wanted to conduct an orchestra. I think that's when my dad started hating me.

Karajan conducted until his death, and he was north of 80, also....

Couldn't a person do both, and be a rock star, and a life saving surgeon? You know, like Buckaroo Banzai???
