Though there is such a rich tradition of culture and arts, I have never been invited to perform at a concert in South India.
From Zubin Mehta
Indian hotels are doing well globally because they understand hospitality.
I have been to Kashmir many times, especially with my family, in the '70s.
There are certainly talented instrumentalists coming from India. I see them performing all over the world.
In Bombay, we have a fine concert hall. I think it is high time we built venues in Delhi and Calcutta, not only for western music, but also Indian music. It doesn't matter which party is in power; don't you think the capital of India should have a concert hall?
The private sector is growing so incredibly in India, in every city you have industries for whom building a concert hall would be nothing financially. But they just don't do it.
American musicians are very giving - they have the highest standard in the world - but they are also very demanding in their conditions.
I love the creativity of New York, but I don't enjoy the city - I don't like living here.
