Enjoy the second interview with Lucas from Verbier Festival.
👉 Excerpts:
--I feel that I’m still living a lot of first times, first experiences. After eight years performing, it was my first time with Quatuor Ébène and first time to play with Lisa Batiashvili and first time to play this Chausson (Concert for Violin, Piano, and String Quartet in D Major, Op. 21). I worked a lot to make myself able to enjoy the moment. because I didn't want to suffer from the the score and from the the the amount of note notes to play. So, this morning I was not stressed at all because I was so excited to play with this team.
I am the performer who needs to be in the present moment. I am not the kind of musician who is like control freak on stage. I am rather control freak when I am practising. But on stage everything can happen, and I am a risk taker. What I care for as a music lover, as a listener and as a performer is intensity. And this morning I was looking for it, I was, I played my part in this huge epic piece that has no meaning if you don't play it as intense as it should be, it should be intense from the first note to the last, like a big musical journey.

👉--In my teenage years, I bought scores, saved my pocket money just to buy loads of scores. I remember when I finished school earlier, I knew that I would be alone in the flat. So, I ran my way to the house just because I had two or three hours alone and I could just read like crazy loads of music. So, I did that and I was in ecstasy with the music I read…

👉-- I think that music is a language. 20th century there are other aesthetics, atonal music, other kind of music that is not so similar language composers think that music is about sound not about language. For me music is a language, so it has an alphabet, structure like syntax like grammar. It's the same when you read a book. There are several levels of reading. You can read just correctly reading the words, but you can read with understanding.

👉-- When I am somewhere I literally am like hungry. I want to “eat” everything around and I want to transform it. I want these things to come through me and then to become something else. I feel to be part of world to get some things and transform them It’s hard for me when I am asked - could you define your personality, it’s very hard for me to answer. I always feel like moving. Like every day is transforming me from A to Z. I cannot say - this is my job, this is my quality, I am this kind of person. I could be this man, but in different circumstances I could be another man. ... See MoreSee Less
