More quotes by Riccardo Muti
- There are not even serious rehearsals anymore.
- No one holds the truth, but I have never used Verdi or any other Italian composer for a theatrical or dramatic effect.
- I don't even recognise my own profession. Conducting has often become a profession of convenience and young people often get into conducting without long and serious study.
- Verdi is not oom-pah-pah!
- The sound rays that went through Mozart are infinite.
