INTERVIEW: MURRAY PERAHIA, pianist"When Bach and his family got together, they always started off with a chorale. But then, right after that, they did a "quodlibet," [the final variation in the Goldbergs] where each would make up the words, and the words apparently were very dirty--very bawdy. And I love that, because that shows that the ritual and the earthy are not so dissimilar--that everything is part of God. Everything. To come down to earth, this is part of us, too. If it's treated with respect and with sensitivity and we can also bring to earthly things all of the qualities that we can bring to spiritual things, then we can make a completeness out of our experience here on Earth. That's what I think the quodlibet is about." --Murray Perahia, on his love for the "Goldberg Variations"

INTERVIEW WITH LUCIANO PAVAROTTI
"It's very important for me to reach as many people as
possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera.
It
is a great honor for me to be able to take the music of the
tenor to a great number of people and also to feel that
perhaps I might just have introduced some people to this
music. As for being remembered in history--well, above all,
as I said before, I am an opera singer and, hopefully, this
is how people will remember me, in the roles I perform best
on stage."
-- Tenor Luciano Pavarotti on his recent efforts, including
September's first Madison Square Garden concert in more than
a decade.
