IDA HAENDEL TALKS ABOUT HER APPROACH TO MUSIC

“I approach a piece of music like a newborn. As if I had never played it before. It’s the road of discovery…every single time. Yesterday I discovered new things in the score. This is why I’m constantly asking: who were these geniuses we are constantly learning from? This is the excitement about it. The actual rediscovery of everything that you had done before and the never-ending supply of information and inspiration. And that’s what’s so fascinating tome: The composer and the composition. That never ends.”
