  • Raymond.. Another fascinating interview. The podcasts with conductors such as this one with Breiner and the recent Falleta interview are so rich in their contribution and interpretation. I appreciate having the opportunity to hear in their own voice what they want us to know about the works they engage. The interviews increase the human aspect of their participation and their dedication to the classics as well as a better understanding of the composers. I am left with the desire to to sit with Breiner and a few friends over a cup of coffee... to listen and absorb. drmike of radioIO CLASSICAL
