I've got great joy from rediscovering Western music. I love Schumann and Chopin, and those amazing symphonies of Bruckner.

I seem to be drawn to the really romantic songs.

A Schubert song, the A-major chord at the opening of Wagner's 'Lohengrin' - such incredible beauty is a mystery, the divinity of music.

I love music. I have a fondness for Chopin, and I very much like his 'Raindrop Prelude.'

I love gentle, gorgeous classical music such as Mozart.

I abhor the words 'classical music.' Few things satisfy me more than a really good cover version.

If you go to Japan for instance, you should know that they have a different way of playing Beethoven or Brahms. But if you play with them Mozart, Debussy, Mendelssohn, they have a wonderful light feeling for that.

Brahms is one of my all-time favorite composers.

There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.

It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me.
