Fabio Luisi Speaking Soundly

Grammy Award-winning Italian conductor and Music Director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Fabio Luisi is also the Principal Conductor of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Principal Conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, and a perfumer. Fabio discusses the challenges and joys of conducting with unbridled enthusiasm, compares great conducting to great cooking, and reflects on his early days of musical development as a pianist, beginning at age 3, and the treats and toys he got for practicing. The conductor tells David how working with singers changed his life, his difficult decision to leave a career as a pianist behind, and how he finds beauty in different interpretations of music and different scents in perfumes.
