The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is returning to Toronto for the first time since 1914
The last time was 1914? Well, I was not the conductor then. Frederick Stock was the conductor, and he was a great conductor.
This is the CSO’s 63rd international tour. Can such a large, expensive orchestra make money on the road? That is a question you should ask the manager of the orchestra, not me. My profession is to conduct the orchestra and to try to present the concert in a good way. Of course, the Chicago Symphony is one of the greatest orchestras in the world. I would imagine it is not cheap to travel.created problems around the world. Now the public is coming back. But it depends on the programming and the composers whose music you perform and the quality of the soloists.
Do you find that audiences today tend to like conductors who have a lot of physicality and showmanship? Yes, because we are becoming a visual society. People want to see more than they want to hear. But I shouldn’t generalize. We still have an interested part of the public that comes for the music and not for entertainment. The world is changing, but fortunately not all is lost. There is a serious part of the public interested in the essence of the performance.I don’t want to be a pathetic figure on the podium.
