引用

  • [Mehta] has the capacity to control every sound made by an orchestra, and he does this with the simplest of gestures, every one of which has an immediate and perceptible effect. He has a talent for conveying a mood of serenity, or of serene grandeur, to both orchestra and audiences that is rare indeed among the younger generation of conductors.
    出典: Winthrop Sargeant, The New Yorker (1967) (1967年)
  • He provides a magic carpet for you to float on.
