Lola Descours is a very successful Bassoon player. We spoke about playing a "manly"  instrument as a woman, having little role models as a young woman and becoming a role model with time. 
We spoke about dealing with your own disadvantages and what is it like to live in different places, talking different languages - does it influence the way you make music.

I am so excited to finally share with you the second season of strings attached! The first 4 episodes are dedicated to feminine role models.
In this episode I chat with star violinist Clara-Jumi Kang about her path to success, who were her role models and what's it like to be one herself. She speaks openly about loving being alone, learning to appreciate the intense life style of a soloist.

It doesn't happen often that I get to talk with a fellow podcaster, someone who asks me questions as well. This bonus episode is a joint episode with Pallavi Mahidhara, the host of "the conscious artist" podcast. We ended up having a very honest conversation about life as a musician, dreams and dealing with oneself.

I was lucky to share the stage with Sir Andras Schiff a few times and now I got to have a chat with him about what is listening for him, about art and politics and about old friendships. We share a sad memory of the late pianist Radu Lupu and try to figure out what is it like being a star pianist.

music in this episode is courtesy of Verbier festival, performed by the Verbier festival chamber orchestra conducted by Gabor Takacs.  
 

Stephan Koncz plays cello in the Berlin Philharmonic and before that in the Vienna Philharmonic, probably the best orchestras in the world. He talks about the differences between the 2 and how difficult was it to prepare for an audition for such an orchestra. He speaks about his childhood in a home filled with music and what is for him the importance of learning to playing with other rather than playing alone.
